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).

and is being loaded into the bookstore system. Please check back in 24 hours to
adopt your materials.
