BookList - The system for creating course textbook lists in compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 requires colleges to post on the institution’s Internet course schedule
the bibliographic and retail price information of required
and recommended textbooks and supplemental materials
for every course.

CUNY modified "BookList", an application originally developed at Brooklyn College, to manage the textbook reporting process.

CUNY has prepared a set of training materials and FAQs to help the campuses implement the use of Booklist. These may be found on the CUNY BookList Resources page.

CUNY will make BookList available to Baruch College faculty after the start of the Fall 2011 semester.  Faculty are expected to use BookList to enter textbook information for courses to be taught in Spring 2012.  BookList will not be available for courses taught in the Winter/January 2012 session.

In early September 2011 faculty will receive more detailed information about the implementation of BookList at Baruch College.  In the meantime, please direct questions to the campus BookList administrator, Arthur Downing.
