Faculty resources for creating digital textbooks

Are you frustrated by not finding the perfect textbook for your courses? Here are 2 solutions that will save your students a lot of money, will get you closer to your heart's desire, and will provide a digital copy to students who require a print disability accommodation.
1. Create a course pack or
2. Create a Custom Book with Pearson Custom Publishing

1. You can create a course pack.

What does that mean?

You select what you would like your students to read: which chapters, short stories or poems from existing textbooks; or articles from journals or from the web. You arrange your selections into the desired order for either Coursepacks, Etc. (or another publisher with an agreement with the Copyright Clearing House) to print a copyright-cleared and hard copy course pack to be sold for a modest price at your Bookstore. Coursepacks, Etc. will even repaginate the course pack for you if you wish.
