Textbook Solutions - your contribution

We are interested in hearing your views on a number of topics, to help us to build the right technology for you to create or use electronic textbooks.

We are trying to build up a comprehensive list of textbooks which are currently on the required book lists of university and college courses. If you are a lecturer or a student and can provide us with the book list for your course, please get in touch.

In addition, the online questionnaire below covers several different areas of textbook use. Although some sections target a particular audience, if you have views on any question, feel free to give an answer. By default, the information you enter on this questionnaire will not be used except to help Textbook Solutions in the development of their product range. In particular, we will not use the information on this form to further contact you, unless you check the clearly marked box at the end of the Personal Details section of the questionnaire. Under no circumstances will we share this information with any other organisation.
