Add Textbooks

Add one or more textbooks to your section. Students cannot open a textbook unless it is added to their section.

SAM instructors can add more than one book to a section but students are limited to the number of ebooks determined by the SAM institution type (Key Code or Site License). A license is used when a student first launches an ebook.

SAM LMS integrated instructors are limited to adding the number of ebooks to the section based on the textbook.

Note In a Site License institution, a warning is issued if the maximum number of ebooks is exceeded.
