Message from Barnes & Noble The Ohio State Bookstore
As of Monday May 24th, 2021, Faculty Enlight is no longer in operational, the bookstore is in transition to a new adoption portal.
Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP) will be our new ordering platform and the University is making the last updates and should be ready soon.
Update: April 2022
Introducing 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. https://aip.bncollege.com/app/
