Add a New Textbook

Click the + sign above the Textbook grid.  WIDS opens the panel for editing.  

WIDS presents multiple ways to enter textbooks:

Add Textbook

• Add a single textbook.  Enter the textbook information exactly as you want it to print.  Enter an annotation (a comment about the textbook) if desired.
• Click Add.

Import from Text

• Add multiple textbooks at once by adding them to the textbox, placing a hard return at the end of each one.  
• Select Process Text and then deselect items you do not want to add to your list.  
• Click Add.  All of the items will be added.

Note that you cannot add annotations using this method.  To do so, edit the textbook afterward and add the annotation.  

Import from Bank

• Copy the textbooks and annotations from another course in WIDS by entering the course number or title and selecting Search. 
• WIDS presents a list of courses.  Select the course you want to copy from by clicking on the title.  
• WIDS presents the textbooks in that course.  Deselect items you do not want to add to your list.  
• Click Add.  All of the items will be added.
