UPACS are the custom educational materials that many faculty members publish for the courses they teach. They are used to supplement or replace textbooks and contain combinations of original manuscripts, published journal articles, book excerpts, photographs, or illustrations.

CONVENIENT
UPACS are shelved along with textbooks at the on-campus University Book Store for your students' convenience. We make supplementary CDs available with the printed material. As for producing UPACS, you may order them and send your files through the web to our server.

ECONOMICAL
UPACS are affordably priced. We charge five cents per black-and-white copy, while the alternatives - your students either download and print the files themselves or buy the packets from a commercial copy shop - can cost them from five to fifteen cents per copy. And, by keeping your business on campus, you are directing funds back into the University, because the book store's proceeds are returned to students through scholarship programs and improvements. We also provide your desk copies free of charge.

QUICK REORDERS
Materials are printed on one of our high-speed, high-resolution printers and electronically archived to ensure a fast turnaround for reprinting. Archived UPACS can be reprinted quickly, typically within 24 to 48 hours and sometimes less!

COPYRIGHT SERVICE
We contact copyright holders on your behalf, saving you time and money and ensuring that proper permission procedures are met. [United States Copyright Office]
