Print Books:

IGI Global will follow up directly with your university bookstore. Once you officially adopt an IGI Global publication and your university bookstore orders 10 or more copies of the book directly through IGI Global, we will be happy to provide the books at a 60% discount.

Electronic Access:

If electronic access is requested, IGI Global will work directly with the professor and determine the official discount after evaluating the request.

After an order is placed for course adoption materials, the desk copy will be provided to the professor at no cost. Print copies are only available upon request. Students will be able to purchase the print books directly through the university bookstore, or they can order the electronic version directly through IGI Global’s online bookstore and receive access instructions.

Teaching Cases

Many professors choose IGI Global teaching cases in conjunction with IGI Global books to supplement their courses. Teaching cases allow instructors to combine theory with experience. Students can see worldly applications of their classroom knowledge. Visit the Teaching Case homepage to learn more, or start selecting materials now by using the advanced teaching case search features.

Many IGI Global teaching cases and casebooks have related teaching notes that can be requested by contacting cases@igi-global.com.

Please Note:

The following publication formats are exempt from the IGI Global Course Adoption Program. Handbooks of research, encyclopedias, conference proceedings, and multi-volume collections will not be processed as examination copies. As the cost for reference works of this size is prohibitive to students, we do not include these books in IGI Global’s course adoption program. However, chapters from these larger publications may be purchased individually through the InfoSci®-OnDemand platform.
