CTE - Center for Teaching Excellence: Textbook & Publisher Information

Textbook & Publisher Contact Information

When requesting a desk copy from the publisher, please include your course information and home address. Do not have materials sent to CSU Global offices. See the listings below for instructions regarding how to order desk copies from specific textbook publishers.

In addition to or instead of acquiring hard-copy textbooks, CSU-Global recommends you use a web-based service, Vital Source, to search for and obtain electronic access to many textbooks. Go to their site to create an account or log in to access your current titles and/or request new titles. After requesting access to a Vital Source textbook, you will have immediate access to 30 pages of the book and a request is sent to the publisher's representative, who will approve full access (which typically happens in one day to one week).
