Just before one semester ended, I was notified that I would be responsible for an online core course—required by most college majors—the next semester. The bookstore wanted immediate textbook information, so I used the same ISBN as the previous semester. Weeks before the course, I realized the ISBN was a bundled textbook package that included the basic textbook with a CD-ROM plus supplements: four audio CDs and a booklet containing the publisher’s access code to the online course. Students could also opt for purchasing a used textbook with the CD-ROM, but without the audio CDs or the publisher’s access code. Because of this course, I learned many valuable lessons about publisher involvement and made a number of resolutions for responsible textbook selection in the future.
