Faculty How To - LMS Bookstore Link for Blackboard

The “Purchase Course Materials” link takes your students to the official bookstore site, where they will sign in with their bookstore credentials or create a new account.

Once there, they can search for their courses to see the required and recommended materials in all available formats along with all available pricing. They will be able to purchase their materials using any form of tender accepted by the bookstore. For your convenience, we have also created video instructions. Click here to view.
