What is a Coursepack?

Have you ever been unable to find the right textbook for your subject? Would you like your students to read one chapter but not the entire book? A custom coursepack by Dollar Bill may be the answer you are looking for. Coursepacks are a cost-effective alternative to textbooks. Coursepacks aid students by providing an up-to-date look at your subject matter from numerous viewpoints and sources. A coursepack is designed by you, for your course, and provides students with only the material you want them to read.

Even with the added costs of copyright permissions, it still makes sense to use a coursepack. Did you know that the average cost of a textbook is $75 dollars? Dollar Bill can help you make an attractive and affordable coursepack and save your students the hassle and costs of buying textbooks at the bookstore. Dollar Bill prints your coursepack, at no cost to you or your department, and distributes them to your students at our conveniently located campus store.

Gathering your materials.

Gather as many books, periodicals, newspaper articles, etc, as you need. Just ask and we’ll give you a copy of our Copyright Guide to help you identify which publishers you may want to choose in order to keep your pack affordable. Remember, the whole point of a coursepack is to prevent your students from having to buy textbooks full of information they don’t need. This is your creation and who knows better than you what your students need?

At Dollar Bill we do not require you to copy pages from a book or other source. Dollar Bill can do that for you to ensure that we get the best possible images for your students.

If you do choose to provide us with photocopies, please make sure your copies are as clear and clean as possible (no black margins). In addition we will need to know the source that you copied them from. (Copy the title page and we can do the rest.) When your pack has been completed, your originals and complimentary copy will be returned to you.
