For each course, please specify the following: Your
name and contact information Please include the following information for each book: Author The Faculty Center Network is a new internet tool that allows college faculty to review college-level textbooks and make informed decisions about textbook adoption. Inside the Faculty Center Network, users can search or browse over 125,000 textbooks. For each textbook, we have author information and author biographies, cover images, book summaries, tables of contents, sample chapters and prefaces, and links to book supplements available to students. In addition, facultycenter.net cross-references textbooks with previous editions, and offers extensive publisher information. On a title-by-title basis, publisher reviews and links to the publisher's Web site for additional supplemental information are provided. Publisher contact information is also provided allowing faculty to request a professional review copy. This information is different from the publisher information database, which includes publisher address, phone number and e-mail addresses for key personnel. The two key features of the Faculty Center are the subject ranking and book usage data, and the FC Notebook. Faculty Center has taken its demand data from over 3,000 wholesale accounts and devised a way to show how often textbooks are adopted and rank textbooks by subject category. The FC Notebook is similar to the "Wish List" feature you find at some retail sites. With the Notebook, you can produce an adoptions list to bring to your campus bookstore for ordering purposes. Or, you can create a list of the titles that you would like to request a professional review copy. If you are interested in gaining access to the Faculty Center Network, contact the Odyssey Bookshop by email to get the Mount Holyoke College username and password. Or register with your own name by going to www.facultycenter.net and clicking on Register.
