2. What if the faculty member receives no royalties from textbook purchases, but instead receives only a free copy of the textbook?

3.	Wed, 3/14/07 12:09 AM	upon if the faculty choose the text based upon getting the free copy
4.	Wed, 3/14/07 2:18 AM	Is it the best textbook for the course??
5.	Wed, 3/14/07 2:52 AM	see above
6.	Wed, 3/14/07 12:17 PM	it makes a difference if the text is required or not. who requires it is also a consideration. the faculty member or the college.
7.	Wed, 3/14/07 12:43 PM	on what she does with the book. she may plan to put it on library loan for students to use.
8.	Wed, 3/14/07 1:50 PM	Same as above

10.	Mon, 3/19/07 5:23 PM	Same as above. Is the instructor, perhaps for reasons of ego commitment, making a suboptimal choice?
11.	Mon, 4/23/07 1:21 PM	Again, this may be a small COI if they are requiring the purchase of a book that is inferior to other available materials but if arguably the premier textbook is easily justifiable.
12.	Tue, 4/24/07 6:45 PM	Was the book a book the faculty would have purchased anyway. Probably no COI anyway.
13.	Thu, 4/26/07 9:14 PM	If she gets one free copy for having the entire class purchase this book, then it is a small COI.
14.	Fri, 4/27/07 2:45 PM	You cannot "require" any purchase, just strongly recommend.
