Is the institution's default not to print course catalogs, course schedules, and directories, but instead make these materials available online?:
A brief description of the practice:
UNLV has recently updated its practice of printing course catalogs, schedules and directories. We now offer the materials online. This simple efficiency improvement offers the same quality of information with fewer demands on physical resources.
Already, this strategy has yielded measurable benefits. In the year before this practice was updated, 15,000 hard copies of the course catalog were printed. Following the update, only 3,000 hard copies were printed - an 80% reduction.
A further adjustment of this practice is being considered for the future, perhaps during 2012-2014, to reduce to 500 hard copies.
