Information for Lecturers

The instructors are offered:

• Free-of-charge inspection copies for course appraisal ( predominantly e-version via Vital Source platform) 
• Access to instructors online supplementary teaching material upon a confirmed adoption - these are mainly companion websites that provide additional materials and extension activities

Inspection Copy Program

An inspection copy is a copy of a textbook that lecturers use to assess as a potential set text for their course or module. It is also known as exam copy, sample copy, or evaluation copy. Instead of payment, the publisher asks for feedback on books and confirmation of whether they will be used in their teaching. Publishers increasingly provide ebook copies rather than print.

Most textbooks are available free to instructors to review for possible classroom adoption. Requests are subject to approval and the requester has to meet the requirements:

• the course is taught in English 
• the course is taught in the local language but the students are expected to study from English-language textbooks
• there are at least 10 students enrolled for the course

What is adoption?

Adopting a textbook means you will use the book for one of your classes and recommend it to your students. There are 4 different ways a book may be adopted: as the essential book, as one of two main books, as a recommended or one of several books, or as background reading. We use this information to make sure your chosen text is available for students via your library or bookshop.

How to order?

You can apply for a copy directly via the publisher's websites by clicking the Request a sample/Request an Inspection Copy button and filling in the request form. You can also get in touch with us and we will arrange an inspection copy free-of-charge.
