Students and researchers continue to expect more from academic libraries, including access to course materials – like eTextbooks – that may be hard to find or access

Many libraries already use the thousands of eTextbooks from Ebook Central’s catalog of 2.2 million ebooks to help ensure students have equitable access to course content when they need it. The variety of classic and innovative acquisition models including the first-of-its-kind Digital Course Reserves model, helps libraries mix and match to meet the unique eTextbook needs of their users and budget.

Get the edge on teaching, learning and research with most diverse set of academic and trade publishers. As your books partner, we can help you:

  • Save precious staff time – Easily find, select and manage eTextbooks within your existing library workflows.
  • Contribute to equity initiatives – Purchasing eTextbooks helps ensure equitable access for students, helping libraries contribute to their university’s equity mission.

The landscape for in-person services and materials has permantently shifted. People want to access material from wherever they are, whether it is the dorms or remote for a semester.
