Because there might be an existing record in your collection that meets your needs or requires only minor modifications, Follett recommends that you search for one first.

If you want to:

• Add a new resource, complete the following steps.
• Search for a resource to see if you have an existing record that meets your needs, see Search Resources.

Note: To identify a title as an eTextbook, it must be assigned an Electronic Book (eBook) material type and Digital Material (never barcode) instructional classification.

The template you select determines your available search and Sort By options.
