Hi everyone,
Our college is moving to electronic textbooks through the Vital Source platform in order to reduce cost for students. We are also considering using some of the titles from our eBooks database (Books24x7) as textbooks, which would further reduce the cost to students.
Does anybody have experience using library eBooks (either single books or databases) as a substitute for textbooks? Or have you heard of this being done elsewhere? Currently our subscription of Books 24x7 does not allow for books to be downloaded which is a disadvantage.
I would appreciate any input regarding this as this is new territory for me. Any other vendors/databases that I should consider? What issues or questions am I missing out?
Thank you,
Asha
