Dr. Philip Gee, first year undergraduate coordinator for Psychology at Plymouth University was interested in finding a way to supply all first-year core textbooks to students at no additional cost to them, and was interested in going digital to provide his students anytime, anywhere access to content. Working collaboratively, Plymouth University, Vital Source and Cengage Learning developed an e-textbook program with the student in mind. Fast forward - the pilot was overwhelmingly successful. Congratulations Dr. Gee on your University Guardian Award.  To see highlights from the inaugural Guardian University Awards ceremony, click here.
