Learn more about Primis Online with this online overview.
Professors can create their unique custom eBook or printed text online.
With Primis Online you can select, view, review your table-of-contents, fill
out your custom cover and shipping information, and then have the opportunity
to approve a complimentary sample book! Once you have approved your sample eBook
or printed book and the order is processed, your student can purchase it—either through McGraw-Hill’s Primis
eBookstore or your local campus bookstore.
Here is how easy it works!
- Select Content: Select the appropriate discipline and area of specialty.
Browse the selections. (You can combine material from different areas
and sources.)
- You can view an item by clicking on the word View and providing
a password. If you do not have a password, follow the instructions provided
and we will email you one within two working days—this is to ensure that
only professors are viewing this content. (In order to provide our users
with faster serve-up time, we display the pages in a lower resolution. These
are not the pages the students will purchase. )
- To select an item for your custom book, click on Add. (Here you
will be given the choice of either an eBook or printed text. Some of our
items are not available in an eBook due to permissions issues. This is especially
true within our Humanities and Social Sciences areas. With certain English
selections, the user has a choice between 8 x 11 and 6 x 9 page sizes.)
- Review & Arrange: When you are done selecting items, click on Step 2 in the progress bar. You will now see a list of selected items with a price. At
this point you can rearrange, add or delete items.
- Personalize: After selecting and arranging your items, click on Step 3 in the progress bar. Fill out your course-specific information. Click on the
Save button.
- Request a Copy: Now click on Step 4 in the progress bar.
Here you need to provide shipping and other relevant course information. Click
on the Save button.
If you have ordered a complimentary eBook, you will receive an email within 2-3 working days containing the URL of your eBook. Your Primis eBook will be in color if the book was designed with color. Once you decided whether or not to adopt an eBook, you must approve the book and it takes 7-9 working days to load and secure the eBook to our ebookstore.
If you have ordered a complimentary printed book, you will receive the book in the mail within 7-10 working days depending upon the mail. Your Primis printed book will arrive printed in black and white.
