Doane bookstore: textbooks, apparel and merchandise

Tiger eBooks+ takes the hassle out of getting course materials by providing students with convenient access to their required materials for the lowest price available. Doane has an opt-out model and includes digital materials, physical materials, or both. 

Follett works on behalf of Doane to negotiate required material prices with publishers down to the lowest possible price. Follett then works with Doane’s bookstore to ensure all required digital materials appear in the student’s Canvas and all required physical materials are prepared for pickup by the first day of class, as applicable. 

All students are automatically enrolled in the program, and students who are not interested in the material savings can opt-out of the program each term with no penalty. Students who opt-out of the program are responsible for finding and purchasing their own required materials.

If a student requires ADA accommodations, please contact the Director of Disability Services at [email protected]. 

All students are automatically enrolled in the program once they register for their courses. Students may choose to opt-out and remove themselves from the program before the out-out deadline for a full refund. If a student opts-out, they are then responsible for finding/purchasing their required materials independently. Students must take action to opt-out of the program each term. There is no penalty for opting out.

If the opt-out/opt-in period has not ended, students can opt back in/out by going to the opt-out portal and choosing “opt-in”/”opt-out”. They can login to the opt-out portal by clicking an opt-out link provided in their Doane student email.

Faculty will be notified at the point of adoptions and students will be notified at the point of course registration. Additionally, all participating students and faculty will receive communications to their Doane student email address providing them with all necessary program information including deadlines, fees and how to opt-out/opt-in as available. Be on the lookout for emails.

Yes! Students can save up to 60% off the original price thanks to the bookstore’s relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

Once students register for courses, the student is automatically enrolled in Tiger eBooks+ and the Doane bookstore will get all required materials for that course ready for them! Students will receive confirmation emails to their Doane email account sharing details to access digital materials in the Canvas, as applicable. If the student has physical materials, the bookstore will communicate with them when they can pick up these materials, as applicable. 

Students will find this information in the emails, as applicable:

• Important Information Regarding your Course Materials for the Upcoming Term | Faculty & Students

• Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up | Students with physical materials

Depending on the classes and the course materials required, students may receive a combination of digital course materials, physical textbooks, printed lab manuals or workbooks.

Only required digital and/or physical materials for courses participating in the program are included. For additional recommended materials, you can order these materials online or visit the Doane bookstore where staff will be happy to assist you. 

• Required: it is necessary for the course.
• Recommended: the instructor has suggested an item that may be helpful.

Only materials identified by the faculty as “required” are included in the program. All “recommended” materials may be available for purchase separately at the Doane bookstore.

If a student adds or drops a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the Doane bookstore.  

• Added courses: Within 24 hours of adding a course, students will receive an email at their Doane student email address with details to access their digital materials and/or if their materials are already provisioned directly into Canvas. If the course requires physical materials, students will receive an additional email letting them know when the new print materials are ready for pick-up.
• Dropped courses: For courses dropped prior to the last day to drop/add/opt-out/opt-in deadline, access to electronic or digital materials will be automatically disabled. If the course requires physical materials, they must be returned to the Doane bookstore unless otherwise stated.

Required physical materials can be kept by the student at the end of each term and does not have to be returned. Digital materials can be accessed for a minimum of 180 days and may be available for a longer period of time based on the material adopted and the publisher's terms.

If your BryteWave course material was delivered as part of the program, then Follett typically sets up these accounts under your academic school email address. You may use the forgot password option at https://brytewave.redshelf.com/accounts/login/ and your Doane student email address to request a password change and to access your BryteWave account.

If it doesn’t recognize your email address, please contact the Doane bookstore to request assistance in confirming what email address was used to fulfill your digital course materials.

If you need more assistance, you can find additional resources, support articles and self-help tools, on the Follett customer support page: Customer Support Center. You can also reach out to the Doane bookstore for support.
