    To use the LibreTexts within the new Equitable Access textbook program program at you need to formally declare the textbook with the bookstore. This is done via the https://davis.verbacollect.com website. A video of almost completing the adoption can be viewed below (no sound).

    Breakdown

    The breakdown of this seven-step process is below:

    Step 1: Select the class that you are the instructor of record that you want to adopt a LibreTexts as the formal textbook.

    Step 6: Add in the three pieces of information

    • Description / Title: Textbook

    If you are selecting to use the LibreTexts Lab Manual or Homework system, indicate that instead.

    • Supplier / Creator: LibreTexts
    • Link (URL): 

    The link to your adopted text is to be added. For my Chem 110A class, this it:

    https://chem.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD_Chem_110A%3A_Physical_Chemistry__I/UCD_Chem_110A%3A_Physical_Chemistry_I_(Larsen)

    Although, if the URL is not available, you can leave this blank.

    That's all folks. Contact Delmar Larsen (dlarsen@ucdavis.edu) for details on customization or other adoption issues. This whole process will ge short cut to step 2 in future quarters.
