an affordable fee that is applied to their student accounts directly.

<i>exact</i> text that is needed. A glimpse behind the curtain- when I input an adoption, I type the given ISBN, and it gives me a plethora of options to choose from. If I'm
<b>not</b> given an ISBN, I have to use the Author/Title, and that selection is 10 times larger. Having the specific ISBN will avoid incorrect adoptions and the long process of recognizing the error and fixing it.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
