textbooks and curriculm
Is there a resource that shows what textbooks are being used by other institutions?
Darla,
There isn't a clearing house of this type that I am aware. I would contact APSCU to see if they have such a list available.

Because of upgrades, and new editions copies, it would'nt seem possible for an institution to use the same standard books each year.
Cynthia,
Textbook selection and use is a constant for sure. Every effort needs to be made to have the latest and most comprehensive content and for some fields that is a real challenge due to the speed of development and change.

This is true however, new books yearly isn't possible. On the other hand, we do need to have current books or access to current books.
Sharika,
In my situation I use supplemental handouts to remain current until it is time to adopt a new textbook. My students appreciate having current information shared with them in this form.
