Your division is doing well, as indicated in the chart below (as of November 18th). The provost’s message from November 10th is attached, and includes simple instructions for book adoptions. It also notes that, for courses where the instructor has not been determined or does not have a CUNYfirst account, book information may be forwarded by e-mail. Could you work with your division colleagues to be sure that the attached message reaches all prospective winter and spring instructors? The bookstore receives many hundreds of online requests pertaining to missing textbook information.
