2. A citation/table of contents page
   • Identify all items to be included in the course materials. Please identify material being used for the first time or specific copyright information that staff will need to know in order to process your required course materials. This page will be included in the course material packet unless specified otherwise.
   • List any exams or cases/materials to be handed out in class
3. A clean master copy or electronic files (preferred) of all items to be included in the course material packet. Please resubmit masters even if they were used before. Also include the title page (both sides); this must include the copyright/ISBN page which is located on the back side of the title page.

Note: If you are interested in including original or existing video materials in your course materials, or you wish to distribute your materials in an electronic format, please let us know at the time of materials submission.

How to submit

• Submit cover page, citation page, and a master copy or file on disk to the Kresge Library Circulation Desk, Attn: Debie Gurkin.
• Submit electronic files via email to KBALCurric@bus.umich.edu.
• Submit on or before the deadline date per term (see submission schedule for approximate dates; actual dates will be emailed one month in advance.)
• Please contact Debie Gurkin if you would like to review your course material contents before they are released for sale.

Copyright

Kresge staff will search the library databases for your course material contents. If an article is located, copyright permissions may not need to be processed. This will save students money on copyright costs. Permission to use cases and all other copyright material with be processed by Kresge staff and the cost will be included in the packet.

Note: Please publish a CTools site by the required deadline date per term if you will have a required course material packet. Kresge Staff will post an announcement and a link resource in your CTools site providing students with information on how to purchase their required course materials. Please do not delete these items.

Case Vendors

Most case vendors offer educators access to preview cases and teaching notes. Some require you to register on their website to get educator access. Your librarian liaison or Debie Gurkin can assist you with finding cases, simulations or other curriculum material relevant to your course needs. Kresge Library has negotiated academic rates with the following popular case vendors:

GlobaLens (WDI/Ross School of Business)

Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship (Ross School of Business)

Harvard Business Publishing

Darden Business Publishing

European Case Clearing House

Ivey Publishing (Richard Ivey School of Business, The University of Western Ontario)

The Kresge Library offers both print and electronic reserves services for your classes. Reserves can include Library materials, syllabi, course notes, textbooks or other materials to support your classes and provide your students with equitable access.

Print Reserves

To guarantee that print reserve materials will be available in time for class assignments, please submit your requests early, as acquiring a book that the Library does not already own can take several weeks. Please consider ordering an extra desk copy of the textbook when you place your textbook order; submit this extra copy for reserve if needed.

To submit your personal copy of an item for reserve, please attach a copy of the Reserve Request Form to each item and send via campus mail or dropped off at the Kresge Library Circulation Desk.

To place an item that is in the Kresge catalog on reserve fill out our web-based form.
