FACULTY COURSE PACKET PUBLISHING

What are the advantages of a course packet?

Course packets are convenient for both the student and the professor, as they provide all of the materials a student needs for a course in one concise grouping.  The professor can reference the actual documents in class and also have direct control over what their students receive. Course packets keep the students from having to buy several books, therefore, saving them money.

How can I create a course packet?

Lieberman’s can help you in assembling your course packets. We will obtain all the necessary copyrights and arrange, with your guidance, both the design and printing of the materials. All you need to do is bring the original copies which you’d like to include. You can include as much material as you’d like in the packet, but the cost will elevate as the amount of material included increases.

What is a copyright?

A copyright is a form of protection for the authors of original pieces of work. It is valid for both published and unpublished pieces. To reproduce and distribute copyrighted material an authorization by the owner/author must first be given.

Why should I choose Lieberman’s to make my course packets?

First of all, we can assemble your packets efficiently. We need a week to obtain all of the copyrights and an additional two weeks to create the packets. However, we recommend submitting all your materials as soon as possible to guarantee that the students have their packets by the start of classes.

Secondly, we are capable of printing the packets ourselves, right here at the bookstore. Having our own printing service is extremely convenient because it allows us to produce packets quickly.  If a student loses theirs or more students purchase them than expected we can easily print more that same day.  It keeps us from having to throw out unused packets at the end of the semester. Furthermore, having our own services makes the overall cost of production much cheaper.

Thirdly, we guarantee the lowest possible cost for the students. The copyright fees are built into the course packet price, as well as the material and labor costs.  (The average price per page is 7 cents.) Most businesses also have to charge the students a commission fee due to the cost of hiring a printing services company. Since we are able to print our own materials, we can forego the commission fee making the overall cost of the course packet cheaper for the students.

Fourthly, we promise to work closely with you in designing the packet to ensure that the end result meets your expectations. We have a wide array of colors, bindings, and layouts for you to choose from and promise to create a product that is both functional and attractive. We will provide you with the first copy so that you may look it over and give your approval. If you do find any errors or are displeased we will make corrections prior to printing the student copies.

Please contact the General Manger, Binh Phung (CONTACT US) with any questions. You are also welcome to come to the store to discuss these conditions and to view examples of packets that we have created for previous courses.
