Order/View Textbooks
1. Click the Textbooks link from the login screen (under Faculty Information).
2. A new window will open. Here you will choose the Term in which you will place an order or view the textbooks. Once you choose the Term, click Submit.
NOTE: All Open terms will be listed, a term becomes available when eStaffing is opened for preferences. All previous term textbooks will be available for viewing.
3. If the faculty member does not have any classes for the time frame you have selected. Click "BACK' to select again.
4. Otherwise, a list of assigned courses will be displayed.
5. Once selected, you will be prompted to a new screen with a list of textbooks.
By checking the box next to “I WILL NOT BE ORDERING ANY MATERIALS FOR THIS SECTION”, you will NOT be able to order books for this particular class. If this switch is set, no orders will be allowed. This switch can’t be set once an order has been placed.
Once you have ordered textbooks, you cannot check this box.
Only initial orders can be placed here. Canceled orders will continue to be managed by the instructional department in Datatel on the XMS1 and XMS2 screens.
The "Required" column is a new feature. Faculty will need to check the box if the textbook will be required for the class. If no check is indicated, the textbook will be marked as "Recommended".
NOTE: This utility does not replace the eStaffing functionality. It is an enhancement to the overall course materials order functions.
