Ordering Books as Faculty

How do I order a textbook?

There are several ways you can order a textbook:

  1. E-mail your book adoption to the bookstore. Include as much of the following information as possible for each book ordered: author, title, publisher, edition, ISBN, and estimated quantity. Also, be sure to include the Course Name and CRN.
  2. Fill out and return a book adoption form to the bookstore. These forms are distributed to the faculty several weeks prior to the traditional semester due date. If you haven’t received a form prior to a semester due date, ask your department head or contact the bookstore.
  3. Fax your book request to 503-280-8656.

We do require some form of written confirmation for a book adoption. However, in an emergency, we will accept an adoption via phone. Keep in mind that phone requests are less reliable and the bookstore cannot guarantee such requests will be filled with the same level of accuracy as written requests. The bookstore phone number is 503-280-8502.
