Make each OU book easy to identify
Module codes, ISBNs and presentation dates prevent buyers from ordering the wrong material.
Use the module code
Include codes such as A111 or TM111 in the listing so students can match the material to their module.
Check the exact presentation
State the ISBN, edition and year. Do not assume that material from a previous presentation is interchangeable.
Easy to Post
OU students are spread across the UK, so posting is normal. When a book sells, use the prepaid tracked label provided in your order.
