Vital Source Technologies, Inc., an Ingram Content Group company, and CB, a Netherlands-based educational content provider, have announced an agreement with the Dutch Publishers Association to develop a comprehensive e-textbook fulfillment platform for the higher education system throughout the region.
Publishers that are members of the association and that work with CB will have the opportunity to take advantage of expanded title reach through the platform, beginning this month. The VitalSource Bookshelf platform supports more than 17 languages, including Dutch.
Students, educators, and institutions who purchase e-textbooks from CB will enjoy the benefits that the VitalSource Bookshelf platform provides, which includes integrated download, online and mobile content options, advanced searching, annotation, reporting, note-sharing and accessibility features. The platform also provides analytic and outcome support tools to supplement learning.
CB integrated its online store with the VitalSource Bookshelf platform through industry-standard web integration.
The VitalSource Bookshelf platform claims to be the most used e-textbook delivery platform in higher education with more than 3.25 million users across 6,000 campuses worldwide. It uses the latest technology to enhance the learning experience through e-textbooks and digital education. Content from more than 350 of the world's top academic publishers is accessible to Bookshelf users anytime, anywhere, and on a variety of operating systems and devices.
