Simple setup
Library discovery / MARC records
Access through the Library – Once requirements have been finalised we will send you MARC records for your library to enable discovery and access through the library. Students can also discover content through their bookshelf.
VLE
Access through the VLE – We’ll install our blocks into your university VLE. This way the students can link from the VLE at the course or module level, directly to the relevant content at either the book, chapter or page level as determined by their lecturers. In addition, valuable student engagement data can be delivered to the faculty enabling better support for student success.
Set up is simple and is down to each university, depending on your unique requirements. We can enable access to this essential course content either through the VLE and / or through the library.
