IMAGINE:

You have a question, and all the right books appear before you, open to the exact pages you need

Every time you sit down to study, your materials are organized to best suit your needs

You make notes and highlights that you can search and organize in seconds

All of your study materials are integrated with highest quality support materials, including the world's most trusted dictionaries and encyclopedias

All of this on your laptop, so it goes anywhere you go.


VitalSourceTM solutions place libraries of content on the computer. The libraries are portable, but they are aware of network connectivity, so they can update and refresh when you return to the web.

The foundation is the VitalSourceTM Library. It's a rich, standard library of over 3400 items, featuring the great works from many disciplines. Institutions can build on that foundation by adding their own customized versions of the VitalSourceTM Curriculum. Curriculum solutions can be specific to a class, a department or discipline, or even an entire school program. Examples include VitalSourceTM Law, VitalSourceTM Business, VitalSourceTM Dentistry, VitalSourceTM High School, and many more. In every case, individual users can add their own references through the VitalSourceTM Bookstore, which is built into the application.
