- Ordering complimentary desk textbook copies directly from the publisher:
To get information about ordering desk copies, go to the "Faculty Resources" section of the University Co-op's website (www.universitycoop.com/ePOS/form=cat.html&cat=867&store=108). Scroll down until the "Desk Copies" heading. Some publishers have online desk copy request forms; some allow users to order over the phone, and some require users to fax in their request. Use the Co-op's form if faxing an order. It usually takes about 7 days to receive desk copies, though it can be longer in rare cases.
