The following email is being sent to all Academic Departmental Administrators (ADA) and Department Executive Officers (DEOs) listed in each department. Please disregard this email if you are listed as an ADA, but don't serve in a role that works with textbooks or resources. A similar email is being sent to primary instructors and course supervisors.
Ordering and Compliance Details
Textbook and resource orders must be placed through the Iowa Hawk Shop, ICON Direct, or the ISBA Law Bookstore to meet Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) compliance.
Duplicate orders may be placed at local bookstores (such as Iowa Book or Prairie Lights). However, ordering only from Iowa Book or Prairie Lights will not meet HEOA compliance. Textbooks and resource orders through these stores will not be shown in MAUI or MyUI. Instead, utilize the course syllabus if you wish to provide information about alternative locations where students can purchase textbooks and resources.
Refrain from using the Other Resources and Additional Information field within MAUI to order textbooks and resources as the Iowa Hawk Shop can't retrieve the data.
Iowa Hawk Shop
The Iowa Hawk Shop is the primary source for all textbook and resource listings. The Iowa Hawk Shop utilizes Follett Discover for textbook and resource orders from departmental administrators and instructors.
