booknow+™ : How it works
booknow+ solutions made available via a single connection:
Typically, integration involves customization by the institution because each institution has their own unique set of systems, portals and platforms. Follett overcomes this challenge with booknow+ “ConnectOnce” Technology.
Key Steps:
• Connector is installed to the SIS at institution
• Connector communicates with institution systems via APIs
• ConnectOnce transforms data from institution into a standardized format
• Follett systems query ConnectOnce for data on demand enabling personalized services through booknow+
All digital content is
aggregated in one place on the LMS and
accessed with single sign on
Follett systems call out to “ConnectOnce” as needed,
reducing load on school systems
