Important changes to our website We offer an inspection copy service to academics for titles which are likely to be used in your courses as prescribed texts or recommended references. IMPORTANT CHANGES TO OUR WEBSITEWe have introduced some changes to the way our website works for academic inspection copies and purchases at lecturer’s discount ordered onine. These changes, outlined below, are designed to streamline the system for you and ensure that you, as an academic, automatically receive your 25% discount off rrp when purchasing titles online. Changes at a glance:
Online accountsAcademics will now need to create an online account with us and log in, before ordering inspection copies or purchasing at lecturer’s discount. To create an account, sign up for our eNewsletter. Make sure you set your Sector as Academic, and select the topics in which you teach or research to receive our email alerts on new titles in this area. Your online account will need to be approved, which means we need to match the information you give us with our records. To assist us with this, it is helpful if you provide your academic email address instead of a personal one. We aim to approve accounts within 2 business days, but this may take longer during busy periods. If your order is urgent, please call us. On approval, you will be emailed your Account number, and also the current code for the lecturer’s discount. Please keep this information in a secure location. If you do not hear from us within a week, and think you should have been approved, please call us or email academic@federationpress.com.au I don’t want an account/to log in to place an orderAcademics who do not wish to create an account or log in to place orders may continue to order books from us online at our normal direct price, or choose to place orders offline by phone (02 9552 2200) or email. For inspection copies, email academic@federationpress.com.au Selecting your inspection copyYou will need to log in before you can see books available for inspection. Once you have logged in, books available for inspection are indicated with the icon Our inspection copy policy is flexible. Simply request copies of proofs and/or inspection copies and we will despatch them to you as soon as we can. Your book/s will be sent to you with an Inspection Response Form to complete or you can use the one on this website. When filling in the Inspection Order Form, please provide as much information as possible about the subject for which you wish to inspect a text. As well as ensuring that the requested book is suitable for inspection, this will help us assess your needs – we may be able to suggest other titles. You can always discuss your requirements with us – simply telephone (02) 9552 2200 and speak to Diane Young, Carmel Keane, Josephine Romeo, or any of our staff. We are always happy to hear from you so feel free to call us and let us know your requirements or suggestions. Non-textbook and hardcover titlesOur hardcover books and some paperback titles are not available for inspection. On the right hand side of each book page, we note if the title is available for inspection. For those non-textbook titles not available for inspection you may purchase them less lecturer’s discount of 25% off the rrp – pre-payment must accompany your order. The discount is available on all books purchased, but may not be used in conjunction with other promotions. Lecturer's discount onlineTo receive the discount automatically when you order online, you must have an approved academic account and you must log in before placing your order. Then proceed to add books to your shopping trolley in the usual way, but when it comes to the checkout, you must enter both your Account number and the Academic Promotion Code (both issued directly to you on approval by us) or the discount will not apply. We take all credit cards and will provide a refund if the texts are subsequently prescribed by you and purchased by your bookshop or library as texts or references for your students. All titles may be returned within 30 days in mint resaleable condition for a full refund. We do not send inspection copies overseas, however we offer titles to you less 25% lecturer's discount – prepayment must accompany your order. Please email us directly to place your request: academic@federationpress.com.au Alternatively, if we have a local distributor in your country, you can contact them regarding your request for an inspection copy - terms and supply will vary from agent to agent. Please see our list of international agents and distributors. When you have received your inspection copyReview the title, complete the Inspection Copy Response Form provided with the book or access it online and return the form to us – by mail, fax or email. You have the option of:
The Inspection Response Form is available online and can be completed and returned once you have received and assessed your book/s. Prescribed or recommended texts, and desk copiesPlease make sure you advise your bookshop in plenty of time so that there is stock in the bookshop in time for your course. Although we supply to the bookshop within days of the order being placed, early ordering helps the bookshop manage their stock and lets us know in time to order reprints or from overseas if necessary. You may request desk copies for tutors, provided the book is prescribed for a course. New titles and proofsIf you need to inspect a title before publication – for example, if publication is scheduled for just before your course starts – please contact us to obtain proofs. We can post or email you these in advance, so that you can see the content of the book and make a decision on prescription or recommendation, before publication. Please call us to discuss your requirements. |
