<p dir="ltr">Marcie,</p>
<p dir="ltr">We did this at Southern Oregon University with AIMS. Haris Gunadi might well be of some help in getting the books links set up for you. However, we had only partial access to the BN bookstore's database/inventory. While we successfully used their resources to import book info, we did a lot of copy & paste from their website rather than being able to simply access an available, complete, robust inventoried database. The bookstore just was not as organized with their database as we would have liked. It was time consuming at our end getting each term set up, but brilliant in the execution of how well it worked within AIMS to manage the workflow of our alt text book production.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You should get in touch with either Haris or his business partner about how to set up the import features of the books in AIMS and ask about how to set up the parameters at your end on what you need to do for manual input. If I recall correctly, we downloaded a CSV file and had to clean it up and upload to AIMS.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hope this is somewhat helpful.<br></p>

<p>Good afternoon all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>Our University has recently partnered with B&N as our bookstore for all of our campuses. Our office utilizes AIM (Accessible Information Management) as our database management system for tracking and managing accommodations for our
students.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>I am speaking with B&N and am trying to see if they are open to performing some type of sync with AIM so that when a student requests e-text, AIM is able to pull their book information (rather than our office manually locating this information
for hundreds of books). They have asked me to reach out and see if any other Universities have used B&N with AIM.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>Has anyone out there been able to sync this data successfully and if so, would you mind sharing how you completed this process?<u></u><u></u></p>
