Bookstore MBS

The MBS third-party application manages the Bookstore back-end (textbooks and merchandise) for all four campus bookstores, which are separated. The code is very old and table-based, but our styles try to make it look somewhat similar to the main PCC website. We can’t include custom fonts.

How to use for Bookstore MBS

Every time the template or CSS changes, each bookstore must be updated separately. Learn how to update the template and stylesheets in Spaces.
