Textbooks
Library Services supports school book rooms and textbook rooms on both an ongoing and specifically scheduled basis.
Ongoing support is provided through regularly scheduled trainings and centralized management of TIPWeb-IM, the database used district-wide to track and inventory instructional materials.
To help maintain an accurate inventory of instructional materials, Library Services barcodes district-ordered textbooks and distributes them to schools ready for use and circulation.
For questions about ordering instructional materials, contact Rachel Altobelli at rachel.altobelli@aps.edu or (505) 848-8888.
Textbook Adoption
The district has detailed procedures for textbook adoption in the schools:

Fines and Fees
If you have questions about fines and fees for lost or damaged textbooks, read the district's procedural directive for fees, fines, and charges:
Student Fees, Fines, and Charges
Bookroom and Textbook Room Help
Library Services also supports textbook and bookroom clerks through training sessions and one-on-one site visits. Textbook and bookroom materials are managed through TIPWeb-IM and district-purchased instructional materials are barcoded centrally by Library Services to help schools with the inventory process.
Barcoding
If your bookroom or textbook room needs additional help with barcoding an un-barcoded collection, or other large projects, contact Yvette Dodge by email at dodge_y@aps.edu.
Removing Materials
If you have questions about removing outdated (post-adoption) instructional materials from your school, contact Yvette Dodge at Library Services by email at dodge_y@aps.edu for instructions and forms.
