Part of our mandate is to publish materials for course use that are pedagogically valuable and that also contribute to ongoing scholarship. The possibilities for rethinking how texts can be used in the classroom, along with new formats for their delivery, are endless, and UTP looks forward to partnering with instructors and scholars in this innovative endeavour.A Note on Textbook PricingAt UTP, we try to balance the pedagogical needs of the instructor with the pedagogical and financial needs of students. We hope to challenge negative perceptions of the textbook industry by serving as a viable alternative to large commercial publishers. One area in which we continue to focus our attention is book pricing.We strongly believe in providing the best possible value by pricing our books competitively, often considerably below the competition. Our books are attractive, durable, and pedagogically sound, and do not carry a lot of expensive bells and whistles. Our commitment to cost-effectiveness is why we publish all course books in paperback. We also believe that information about pricing should be readily available to students and instructors, and we make a point of providing up-to-date price information on our website.We encourage instructors to make informed decisions about the books they choose to adopt for their courses, to educate their students about why they choose a particular book and its value to the overall course content, and to work with publishers to help create (and create demand for) pedagogically sound yet cost-effective course materials.JournalsOur MandateWith more than 115 years of publishing experience serving the changing needs of journal editors and managers, the Journals Division has built a solid reputation for excellence in journal publishing and for the support we provide to our partner journal editors, editorial boards, and associations.
