Textbook Express Bookstore Overview

Textbook Express is a feature of PrismWeb that receives the student's schedule information from the campus website, and displays all of the books and materials for their courses.
From there, the books can be added to the shopping cart and purchased or reserved. If configured, students can also pre-order their books.

Textbook Express is not just limited to the student's schedule. Textbook Express can be utilized to link to materials on a course by course basis.
The links would generally appear on the school's online course catalog listing or similar. This will allow the students to view the information before they are enrolled in any classes.

To start the process, Campus IT will add code to student registration pages that will dynamically generate a link on the student's registration page.
This is achieved by using specific parameters set by NBC. You can download specific details to give to your Campus IT department at Textbook Express – Campus IT Technical Details.

Textbook Express Demo and Additional Information

If you'd like to see a live demo of how Textbook Express will work after implementation, go to http://www.nbctextbooks.com/textbook_express/ and click the button at the bottom of the screen.

Textbook Express is relatively easy to implement and deploy. After the initial implementation, there is very little maintenance required.
The demo uses a simulated version of a campus registrar page and shows how the page is populated with a student's courses on the bookstore site.
