Follett Discover (accessed through MyFIRE) allows you to easily discover, research, and adopt course materials all in one place. In addition to adopting traditional print materials, Follett Discover makes it easy to search and adopt non-traditional materials such as YouTube videos, open education resources, and MOOC content. This tutorial demonstrates how to adopt textbooks in Follett Discover.

Note: All courses must have an adoption even if the course is using an OER. Simply follow the instructions below in step 8b and select ‘No Materials Needed.’

Are you teaching an Online or Extension Site Class?

The Digital Learning department is responsible for submitting these adoptions. Please do NOT adopt books for your class(es). Contact Digital Learning by emailing (idtsupport@seu.edu) with any questions.

Would you like your materials to be a part of Follett Access?

·      Follett Access is when the bookstore is responsible for delivering the course materials to the students.

·      Students will receive a course material fee on their student account.

·      The bookstore works with the publisher on special pricing, which ultimately is price savings for students.

·      Students have access to their materials 1-2 weeks BEFORE classes begin.

If you would like your course materials to be a part of this program, adopt existing Follett Access materials, or want more information, please contact Maria Crossan (mcrossan@seu.edu).

Essential Information You Need To Be Aware Of

 

If you see a red banner on a course stating ‘We are unable to load your course materials at this time. If this error persists, please contact your campus store.’ This means that the course was recently scheduled and is being loaded into the bookstore system. Please check back in 24 hours to adopt your materials.

 

OR

 

After selecting adopt and a red banner shows on the course stating ‘Material not found. Would you like to request materials not found?’ Send an email to Maria Crossen (mcrossan@seu.edu) and include all of the book information available to you including a purchasing link from Amazon or other site to ensure that the bookstore has everything they need.

 

Alternatively, if the previously adopted materials are available for quick adoption and the same materials are being used,

a.        Select the checkbox next to the desired material.

b.        Select Adopt Course Material.
