SCHOOL JOINS 16 OTHERS IN THE US AND CANADA LEVERAGING THE NEXT-GENERATION E-BOOK PLATFORM FROM INGRAM DIGITAL

LA VERGNE, TN – August 21, 2008 – Ingram Digital, the Ingram content company focused on solutions for digital content management, hosting, distribution and promotion, announced an agreement with the University of Puerto Rico School of Dentistry to deliver the entire program’s curriculum in digital form, beginning in the Fall of 2008.

Currently, one out of three dental students in North America use Ingram Digital’s VitalSource™ advanced e-book platform to access curriculum content. By infusing textbooks and other course materials with advanced interactive functionality, Ingram Digital’s e-book platform significantly enhances the learning experience. It also allows efficient access and storage of a robust library of content directly on the student’s PC or Mac.

University of Puerto Rico dental students will receive all of the course materials they will use throughout the program’s four years in Ingram Digital’s interactive Vitalbook® format. As a result, students will be able to explore a full library of content for answers to scientific and clinical questions from the start of their academic journey.

“Our e-book platform was first conceived with students in mind and has continued to evolve thanks to feedback from thousands of users who have made it an integral part of their academic experience,” said William Chesser, Vice President and General Manager of Ingram Digital Education Solutions. “We are very excited to be working with the University of Puerto Rico to bring a robust, digital reference library to their dental students.”
