How to use the AIM-VA portal
How do I get/download materials?
Once you have ordered your books you will receive them in one of three ways depending on which option you chose.
First: delivery by Mail. If you chose to have your materials on CD, Large Print, or Braille, then your order will be mailed to the address you provided when ordering.
The Second option is Electronic Download. If you chose Electronic Download, and the current school year when ordering, your files will be made available to you as soon as possible usually within a few minutes. To access these files log onto the AIM-VA library portal and click the “Manage Orders” button on the left hand side taskbar.
This list will contain all of your orders. In order to be available to download the order must say “Download Available” under the “Status” column. Once you find the book you wish to download, you can click the “Download Order” button, shaped like a downwards arrow, under the “Actions” column. This will automatically begin your download.
Take note that once you download the file the first time you will have 7 days to download it again before the link becomes inactive.
The final delivery option is using the “Streamit!” system. This system is only for the ePubs and files will automatically be added to the student’s bookshelf after the order is placed. At any time Students can log in and see their ePubs by going to the AIMVA homepage and clicking the “My Bookshelf” button under the “For Students” tab. This system will allow students to log on anytime from any location and stream their books directly online.
