Textbook Ordering

1) Instructors should place their own textbook orders on-line. According to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), deadlines for ordering textbooks are:

for Summer:  by April 1
for Autumn:  by May 1
for Spring:    by October 1

2) In practice, if teaching assignments for individual instructors are not confirmed by the established deadlines, instructors should submit as soon as possible following receipt of a confirmed assignment. GTA exception: the book order for sections of German 1101.xx, 1102.xx, and 1103.xx will be submitted by the department.

3) The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures does not endorse a particular bookstore. Orders may be placed through Barnes & Noble - The Ohio State University Bookstore.

The Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP)

AIP was developed by Barnes & Noble College to solve challenges faced by faculty in the areas of discovering, selecting, and monitoring course material adoptions. Powered by Ohio State’s Student Information System (SIS), AIP delivers a highly personalized, streamlined, action-oriented user experience for faculty. With AIP, faculty can easily manage and submit course material adoptions each term.
