Who places textbook orders?

The textbook coordinator should oversee and submit all textbook requests.

Teachers, department chairs, and others can submit requests to the textbook coordinator and/or assist the coordinator with completing the requests. However, only the textbook coordinator, or his/her alternate, should submit the requests to Media Services.
