Course reader
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2023) |
A course reader is a publication type used for teaching in universities and academia.[citation needed] A course reader is made up of a collection of existing texts, course slides, and notes. Common forms of course readers include photocopy packs or PDF documents. Course readers require copyright clearance.[1]
Course readers are distinguished from sourcebooks in that they are typically compiled by simply photocopying or scanning the selected materials and then adding covers, front matter, tables, and pagination. Thus, there is usually significant variation from one text to the next in a course reader because each document retains its original layout and typefaces. In contrast, the texts selected for inclusion in sourcebooks are usually edited, laid out, and typeset in a uniform format.
