Digital Education - Electronic Course Packs

Most packets are printed on three-hole drilled paper and shrink-wrapped before delivery to the bookstore. There are some, however, that need binding. In the past, packets were bound with plastic cerlox. Currently a spiral binding system is used, and most of the binding has been changed to coil.

About 12 weeks before classes begin, the initial course requests are printed—sometimes as many as 2,500 of a specific title. Although an average order size is about 100, some orders, like packet rain checks, can be as small as one copy. Requests for rain checks are received daily as initial print quantities are sold out at the bookstore. These small orders start coming in after the first day of classes.
