Issue/Question
- How do I add books or other materials for my courses
- What do I do if the site is set to read-only mode
- How do I go about getting a course registration put on the online bookstore?
Environment
- USD Instructors
- usd.textbookx.com
- USD Online Bookstore
- usd.edu/textbooks
Cause
Books need to be adopted to the course
Resolution
- Login to the Online Bookstore using your USD credentials
- Courses that are listed in Banner are automatically loaded to the Online Bookstore
- To adopt materials, follow the attached two page guide or a more detailed guide from the USD Online Bookstore Adoption Portal help page
- View the tutorial videos
Note: the ISBNs should still be added to D2L
- If a course pack is needed, follow Creating a Course Pack
- If First Day Access Materials (FDAs) are needed follow: Adding First Day Access Materials (FDAs) to the Online Bookstore
- Please note the deadlines for adding books sent to you by USD Academic Affairs
- This is necessary so that Akademos/Textbookx can verify all materials are available and in sufficient supply for our courses
- This also helps them find the best prices for our students
- If no materials are needed, indicate in the adoption portal; otherwise, students will see the message Course items for this class have not yet been submitted by your instructor. Please check back.
Note: After the deadline, the site is set to read-only mode. If you are unable to complete your adoption, email Akademos at usdonlinebookstore@vitalsource.com, Department Chairs or their approved admins to enter late adoptions.
