Textbook Express Help

Textbook Express is a convenient and quick way to view or buy the textbooks linked to your current LBCC class schedule. Please review the following guide to help you navigate and understand each step of the Textbook Express process.

Textbook Express

Step 1:  Login to Peoplesoft/OLE



Step 2:  Select "Student Center"


 

 

Step 3:  Select "My Class Schedule"

 

 

Step 4: Select term, click continue.


 

 

Step 5:  Click the appropriate link "View/Buy Textbooks for LAC" or "View/Buy Textbooks for PCC" (based on the campus location where your classes meet.) Each link will only display your book information for the selected campus (LAC or PCC). You will need to choose each link separately (and place separate orders) if you are enrolled in classes at both campuses.


 

 

Step 6:  Book information for your enrolled classes on the selected campus will now be displayed. Review your textbooks before adding to your cart. Choose your book type preference and quantity for each title (to remove a title, select 0 quantity). Select "add to cart" when you are ready to continue.


 

 

Step 7:  Review your selected items which now display in your shopping cart. Enter and "apply" a coupon code if necessary. You can choose to "Continue Shopping" (to add additional items manually to your cart) or "Checkout" to complete the purchase process.


 

 

Step 8:  Sign into your Viking Bookstore website account (Note: each campus bookstore website requires a login account). If you do not have an account, click on the "Create an account" link, and fill out the required information needed to process your order.

Once you login to your account, the upper right-hand corner of the web page will display your name and the number of items in your cart. If you exit at any point, the items you selected will remain in your shopping cart for future reference until the next time you login to your account to add, delete, edit, or complete your purchase.


 

 

Step 9:  Read the Textbook Options/Substitutions information for the textbooks in your shopping cart. By checking the boxes next to each title, we will substitute accordingly. Once you have made your decision, click the "continue to shipping info" button to proceed.


 

 

Step 10:  Verify your saved Ship To information (NOTE: If you are choosing to pickup this order, please fill in the Name of the person who will pickup up the order if different then yourself. Orders will only be released to persons listed in either the Ship To or Bill To fields).

In the Shipping Method section, select either PICKUP (at the selected campus bookstore), SHIP UPS GROUND, or Special Shipping Promotion if displayed. Also, please indicate any special instructions in the box provided. (i.e. Indicate color for certain merchandise, NO SUBSTITUTIONS, etc.) Click "continue to payment info" to proceed.


 

 

Step 11:  Please note the Summary of Charges - your final cost may differ once your order is pulled and processed due to price updates, substitutions, and cancellations. Under the Payment Method, enter your name, credit card number and expiration date exactly as it appears on the credit card. Next, fill in your Billing Address information. Click "review your order" on the bottom of the page to continue.



 

 

Step 12:  Review your order! Verify shipping and billing information and the items in your cart for accuracy. Please note the purchase total shown may not be the actual total charged to your credit card once your order is pulled and processed due to price updates, substitutions, and any cancellations. Click "place my order" once everything is verified.


 

 

Step 13:  Print out your online Receipt and note your Order Confirmation Number and additional information provided. Please WAIT until you have been notified that your order is ready for pickup before coming to the bookstore. Orders that have been shipped or are ready for pickup will be notified via e-mail or phone. Please bring the Order Confirmation Number (or the online Receipt) with a government issued identification such as a College ID, Driver's License, State ID, or passport to pick up your order at the bookstore.


 

 

Step 14:  If you are enrolled in classes at both campuses, click on the browser window that displays your Peoplesoft/OLE Class Schedule and choose "View/Buy Textbooks for XXX" (the other campus link that was not initially chosen in Step 5) and continue thru steps 6-13.
