This paper presents a study about the impact of a common book program on teaching and learning practices at a small mainly undergraduate university. This study consists of two phases. In Phase 1, we surveyed faculty members (N= 32, a response rate of 21.3%), about the influence of the program on teaching practices and dialogue with colleagues as well as their perceptions ofthe program’s impact on student learning. In Phase 2, we conducted interviews with business faculty, who were early program adopters (N=8). Most respondents believed that students benefited from the program. Faculty members perceived the common book program as a tool that facilitated course content and enhanced students’ literacy. While responses were mixed about the perceived impact on teaching practices, faculty members interviewed felt that the common book program created opportunities for discussion about teaching and learning.  \nLa majorité des recherches menées sur les programmes de livre commun se concentrent sur les résultats des étudiants. Cet article présente une étude qui a porté sur l’impact d’un programme de livre commun sur les pratiques pédagogiques dans une petite université offrant principalement des études de premier cycle. Cette étude s’est déroulée en deux phases. Au cours de la Phase I, nous avons mené une enquête auprès de professeurs (N = 32, avec un taux de réponse de 21,3 %) concernant l’influence du programme sur les pratiques d’enseignement et le dialogue avec les collègues, ainsi que concernant leurs perceptions de l’impact du programme sur l’apprentissage des étudiants. Au cours de la Phase II, nous avons mené des entrevues avec des professeurs d’administration des affaires qui avaient adopté le programme dès sa phase initiale (N = 8). Laplupart des répondants ont déclaré que selon eux, les étudiants avaient bénéficié du programme. Les professeurs ont considéré le programme de livre commun comme un outil qui simplifie le contenu du cours et améliore l’alphabétisation des étudiants. Bien que les réponses aient été variées en ce qui concerne la perception de l’impact sur les pratiques d’enseignement, les professeurs interrogés ont indiqué que selon eux, le programme de livre commun avait créé des occasions de discussion sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage.  \nKeywords  \ncommon book, common reading, literacy, freshmen  \nThis research paper/rapport de recherche is available in The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:  \n[https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol9/iss2/6](https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol9/iss2/6)  \nFerguson et al.: Common Book Teaching  \nA recent article in the New York Times reported that 40% of colleges in the United States have a common reading assignment during orientation (Goldstein, 2017) .
