The policy set forth below applies to titles published directly by the ÐÜèÊÓÆµ (AERA). Instructors interested in examination and/or desk copies of titles published on behalf of ÐÜèÊÓÆµby other publishers must contact those publishers directly.
Examination copies
An instructor considering a book for course adoption may request an examination copy by providing all the information on the .
When ÐÜèÊÓÆµships an examination copy, an invoice will be included, payable in 30 days. After 30 days, the instructor must pay the invoice, adopt the book as a required text, or return the exam copy in new condition. If the instructor adopts the book, it becomes a desk copy.
Desk copies
ÐÜèÊÓÆµwill provide free to an instructor who adopts a book as a required course text a desk copy of the book. Any such instructor who did not request an examination copy should use the same to request a desk copy.
Additional desk copies may be granted to other instructors of the same course at a rate of 1 desk copy per 20 enrolled students. But there is a limit of 10 desk copies for a course.
