Books

You can use the Books page to configure books needed by students for class sections.

The inventory is related to the courses offered. When you set up a course to be offered at your institution, you can assign textbooks from the inventory list by creating book lists for the course using the Book Lists tile. (Select the Configuration tile > expand Academic Records > select Courses.)

The book lists are available when scheduling course sections as a method of assigning textbooks and other course materials to a specific course section. You must enter books and course materials in the inventory list before you can select them for a course.
