eCampus' methodology to obtain the required textbook information needed from eCampus Virtual Bookstore Program partners is simple.

eCampus can send an adoption form to be filled out by the institution's administration that includes detailed instructions, the institution's faculty and/or administration may upload their adoptions on their own or eCampus can customize its processes for your particular institution.

As part of the textbook acquisition process, eCampus will:

1. Make sure the materials selected are accurately listed on the virtual bookstore.
2. Alert the faculty/administration to any changes in the status of the books they selected.
3. Work with the faculty/administration and the publishers to ensure timely and accurate delivery of the correct materials.

Upon receipt and cleansing of the adoption list, the institution's assigned Virtual Bookstore Manager (VBM) will provide a written report of the status and availability of the adopted booklist. This report will notify the faculty/administration of any issues with the adopted textbooks.

The VBM will obtain the institution's final approval before any textbooks are ordered. Once the adopted booklist is finalized, it will be sent to the eCampus Procurement Department for ordering. Our procurement specialists deal directly with publishers and distributors to satisfy the needs of our partner schools. They will establish maximum quantities on hand of the adopted textbooks based on the given enrollment number for each class provided by the faculty and administration.
