VitalSource platforms and content management tools help grow usage, maximise your investment in learning resources, and broaden the library’s reach and impact.
Seamless Access to Digital
The need for digital access, either to course reserve titles or an entire library of content, has never been more important. VitalSource Explore makes it easy to add digital course materials to your collections catalogue and set borrowing limits, making delivery and access seamless.
Easy Student Experiences
Deliver a best-in-class reading experience with Bookshelf—the most extensive catalogue of etexts and courseware, with over 1.5 million titles, localised in 37 languages.
From the beginning, VitalSource has been at the forefront of creating, adopting, and evolving global accessibility standards. We collaborate on accessibility with many organisations, such as the DAISY Consortium, W3C, the National Federation of the Blind, DIAGRAM Center, Book Industry Study Group, and the Center for Accessible Materials Innovation.
"I definitely like the new Explore platform...I think it's more accessible and user-friendly for students. It also includes features that enable students to develop good study behaviours(note-taking, engaging with the text) and collaborative features to encourage connected learning."
- Amber Forsyth, Language and Learning Team, Queensland University of Technology
"We want to ensure that all of our students can have that level of independence. To be able to study independently with their own assistive software so they’re not dependent on those around them. We feel that digital tools can support this goal, and it is something we focus on when making decisions about which product interfaces to use and partners we work with."
- Andy Horton, Library Manager, BPP Law School
Access & Impact
We design innovative solutions that simplify the process of finding and obtaining required course materials. This allows more learners day-one access to their materials, lowering the overall costs for everyone and improving student success.
