Fall textbook adoptions, info on electronic versions

The University Bookstore understands a lot is going into your decision-making process for fall adoptions during this time. We know you are facing new challenges as more courses adjust to online formats. We want to share a tool that is available within Follett Discover where you can instantly see if the traditional book you may be considering has an electronic version available. You can find this information on the same site where you submit your textbook adoptions.

As always, we ask for your adoptions as early as possible so we can better source used materials that may be available. In addition, timely textbook adoptions keep campus in compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). To this end, we want to work with you to assist in anyway that will allow you to make your textbook adoption decisions and allow us to get the postings completed. While we recognize that some of you may still be trying to make decisions, this is a friendly reminder that fall textbook adoptions were due on April 15.

Reach out if you need any assistance maneuvering Follett Discover or feel free to email or call with your adoptions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.
