My process is to first introduce, by email, the new Finance faculty to the representative of McGraw-Hill so that they are familiar with the faculty’s name when they have to approve desk copy requests. Then I have the new faculty member contact the representative of the publisher to request desk copies.  I provide the publisher’s Help Desk telephone number.  I also recommend that the desk copy, if in paper form, be sent to the faculty’s home rather than being sent to Boston University – less “lost” desk copies.

For publishers other than McGraw-Hill,  contact the appropriate publisher representative since they would have a relationship.
