The Most Digital Content
Through our partnership with VitalSource we also offer higher education institutions access to the largest digital catalog, resources and publisher relationships in the industry.
Students also have access to Bookshelf CoachMe®, a free, award-winning study tool that’s available on more than 2M titles. The digital study coach identifies what students know and helps them focus on what they need to learn by inserting practice questions and knowledge checks right in the eBooks. Bookshelf CoachMe is the #1 recommended resource by students compared to other commonly used eReaders and built-in study tools.
