The UAB Bookstore is integrated into Canvas so that faculty and students can access their UAB Bookstore portal within the Canvas environment. This integration streamlines the textbook adoption process for faculty, allowing them to select the course materials for their courses more easily. It also simplifies the purchase process for students, showing them the required and recommended materials for their course.
