Ready to reuse before you buy new? �鶹��Ѱ�����Internal Reuse is launching soon.��

�鶹��Ѱ�����Internal Reuse is a tool that provides a new way for departments across the �鶹��Ѱ�����system (Boulder, Denver, Anschutz and Colorado Springs) to find and purchase usable supplies and equipment before the items become a part of the property surplus process. The new system will be hosted within ReCoup by AssetWorks (ReCoup is the software that the University currently uses to manage surplus property disposal). The �鶹��Ѱ�����Internal Reuse program supports sustainability efforts while helping departments reduce costs and make use of resources already available within the university.

To help you get started, we'll be offering online webinars where you'll see the tool in action, learn how to claim and purchase items, and discover how reuse can save money and support CU's sustainability goals. Register for one of the webinars coming up on Oct. 26 (1–2 p.m.) and Oct. 27 (9–10 a.m.).

Instructors have received ongoing email communications requesting book and course materials information for Spring 2027 courses. As a reminder, campus policy states that departments are required to identify what books and other course materials are required (or if a course will have no required materials or courses that will utilize Open Education Resources (OER)) for their classes by the day of registration.

Getting accurate information from instructors is critical to the success of the �鶹��Ѱ�����Book Access program, which provides degree-seeking undergraduate students access to their required course materials by the first day of class for a flat rate each semester, and also ensures the timely distribution of course materials for graduate students. The �鶹��Ѱ�����Book Store also provides course material information to the University Libraries, allowing them to build collections and course reserves to support teaching.

The �鶹��Ѱ�����Book Store has designated a staff member to facilitate any faculty needs: Ryan Windle, ryan.windle@colorado.edu, 303-492-3421.
