Textbook Adoptions and Due Dates
The wholesalers (used book
companies) have a limited supply of used books. The wholesalers
distribute their used books on a first come, first serve basis, so the
sooner your orders are received, the better chance we will have of
getting used books for your course. Used books save the students
25%.
Select this to
link to our on-line requisition form.
You will need a log-in name and a password. If this is your first time and you do not have a log-in and password, please call or email the bookstore at 218-477-2285/ beckerlg@mnstate.edu.
This new on-line form is the preferred method for submitting textbook requests. Requests can still be submitted by email or by using the hard copy (please request hard copies by calling the bookstore at 218-477-2459.) Please be thorough when submitting requests. Is this class cross-listed in the schedule? If so, submit each Department separately. Please be sure to select the correct section number and Instructor.
Packets or other Course Materials: If a packet is required for the class, please list this in the comment section for the class. Also, let us know if the packet will be available for sale at the bookstore or where students can pick up the packet. All Print Center orders must go through the Bookstore first. Let us know if this packet will be printed from a hard or electronic copy. Also, is this a new printing, a reprint with no changes or a reprint with changes?
Please get this information to us as soon as possible to assure it
will be on the shelves before classes start.

Desk Copy Information
It is each departments
responsibility to contact publishers for desk copies. We do have a
link below to access a form to send or email to publishers to make this
more convenient. If you need to purchase one from the textbook
area the following applies:
All desk copies will be
billed directly to your department account. Credit will be issued when the desk copies are returned within 30 days
of checkout. Used books will be credited for full value when returned within a 30-day
time frame. New books must be free of any highlighting or damages, such as bent
corners or marred surfaces, to receive full credit. Damaged books
will be credited back at the used book value. Desk copies charged out after the 6th week of school are not
returnable. To ensure proper credit back to your account, we ask that you bring your
original charge slip with you and return all desk copies to the textbook
office in the lower level of the Bookstore.

Book Returns to Publishers
The MSU Moorhead Bookstore starts
returning textbooks the 7th week of classes each semester to prevent
losing our returns privileges with Publishers. Wholesale companies only
give us 60 days from the start of classes to return used textbooks.
The following announcement is printed in the Continews to remind faculty
we are getting close to returning textbooks.
Attention faculty: Please announce in your classes that the MSU Moorhead Bookstore is beginning to return books to vendors. Students should purchase any textbooks for this semester as soon as possible to ensure availability.
