When assigning textbooks, it is best policy to always search for an existing entry first to see if the textbook you want to assign to the course is already available in the database instead entering a new one. The same goes for all other entries, including entries for course fees, no textbook required, etc.

1. From the textbook entry page, click Search Existing Textbooks to Assign to Course.
