Course Packets

General Information

Course packets are collections of articles and/or book chapters compiled by instructors to supplant or accompany traditional textbooks. Instructors wishing to use a course packet for their course would first submit their list of citations to our office and deliver original copies to the appropriate Printing Services Copy Center. The Copyright Permissions Center notifies the Copy Center when the permission process is complete and the center then produces the packets and delivers them to the appropriate University Bookstore for distribution to students.

Partnership

The Copyright Permissions Center, Printing Services Copy Centers, and the University of Minnesota Bookstores have formed a partnership designed to offer students the convenience of one-stop shopping. All course packets cleared by the Copyright Permissions Center and produced by Printing Services Copy Centers are sold through the following bookstore locations:
