At Cooley we have encouraged our faculty to create course exam packets for each class they are teaching. They may include old exams, sample answers (or answer guides) as well as practice questions and previous high grade answers. The packets are not produced by the Library. It has been fairly successful, but we have also moved all the old exams to our intranet and more recently to our web page. All this is passworded like at many other schools. This term, all faculty are being encouraged to have TWEN pages, so there is another option for them to distribute old exams and other supplemental information to their students. Of course, we still have paper copies of more recent exams at our Reserve Desk or in the stacks, but we encourage students to go the electronic route first.

Has anyone compiled the course exams they have on file into packets and
sold the packets to
the students?
If so, do you seperate the exams by year (all the first year
exams, etc) and was this
a successful venture? We have placed some exams (with permission of the
faculty member) on our lab computers but the bulk of the exams are still
being handed out at the reserve desk and the students then have to copy
them. Any information on this topic or how you handle the exams (other than
just having them on reserve and
handing them out) would be appreciated....
