What is the online bookstore eLibrary?
The eLibrary is where the bookstore keeps a record of all digital course materials that a student has access to. To visit the eLibrary, students log in with their student account, click on their username located at the top right, and then select "eLibrary." Each text a student has access to is listed along with title, author, and access information.
Accessing digital course materials
Instructions differ based on the publisher and item, but the bookstore will email access information, which is also listed in the eLibrary.
Types of Digital course materials:
VITALSOURCE DIGITAL CONTENT (VS): Students must access VS materials for the first time through
their bookstore eLibrary by clicking "Read Now." Once logged in, the text appears on the VS bookshelf.
Links to the texts are also available through a student's Learning Management System (Canvas,
Blackboard, D2L, etc.). If students are new to VS, they should create an account with their school email
address. If they have used VS in the past, they should access their new materials with their existing
account.
COURSEWARE: Courseware from publishers like McGraw Hill, Cengage, or Pearson is accessed through
their websites. The eLibrary will have links to the platform as well as unique access codes. *While most
courseware access information is emailed, some is physically mailed. Courseware that is mailed will not
appear in the eLibrary, but tracking information will be listed under a student's bookstore account.
CODELESS DELIVERY: Depending on the publisher, materials will either be made available through the
LMS, school portal, or access instructions will be provided in class.
