Recently, Jan Vander Meer was kind enough to distribute a guide for how to setup electronic book adoption with the University Bookstore, allowing you to order your textbooks online, and while the process is relatively simple, I thought I would reproduce them here with a few screen shots to help make that process even smoother.
Registering with the Bookstore
Go to the NIU bookstore website: www.niubookstore.niu.edu
Go to “Faculty Adoption” and click on.
First time at site go to “Register Here” and click on.
Select registration option “Create profile for Adopting Course Materials,” click on.
Complete required information in “Faculty Registration” and “Department Access.”
(You can find the department Username and Password in Jan’s email or alternatively you can swing by the NWR!)
Registration is complete when you finish the Security Form and click the “Submit
Faculty Registration.” You are now ready to use electronic adoptions!
Access
After going to “Faculty Adoption”, enter the Email Address and Password set up during
Registration. This password should not be the same as the Department Password or your
Novell password.
To get started, click on “Guided Adoption” from the Faculty Adoption main menu and
follow steps 1 through 5. Complete instructions for each step were mailed to you with the
fall adoption requisitions, “Introducing: Electronic Textbook Adoptions.”
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us. Additional instruction sheets are
available if you need them.
