As you plan your summer activities, Print Services is already preparing for your return in the fall. To help ensure a smooth transition back to campus at summer’s end, send those works in now that you will need for the first month of the fall semester (i.e., syllabi, reading lists, class work and course packs). The more that can be printed during the summer, the easier the fall will be.
The most important items to leave with Print Services before you leave for the summer is anything that will require copyright permission. The best way to do this is for you to forward the actual item to print services with your name, class name, class number, and the pages required. If you don’t have the item, then the exact ISBN will be helpful in the search for the correct copy. By sending the actual item or the ISBN, copies will be made from an original, providing the best quality copy to your students.
Please contact Elizabeth Holme at ext. 2550 or eholme@georgefox.edu with any questions that you have. Complete guidelines as published by the Copyright Clearance Center can be found on Print Services’ Web page.
