Vital Source Technologies, Inc., Ingram Content Group's digital content delivery system, has announced that Vital Source has been selected by MBS Textbook Exchange, Inc. to be the digital fulfillment vendor for all of its educational content. This agreement with MBS, the industry leader in providing virtual bookstores with comprehensive print and digital inventories of course materials, will span both the K-12 and higher education markets, and will encompass all of the channels through which MBS will sell digital content, including MBS Direct, Textbooks.com, and MBS Systems.
The collaboration between MBS and Vital Source will simplify the distribution of digital course materials for thousands of institutions and students who will no longer have to contend with competing digital platforms. Instead, schools can unify their digital platforms through all of MBS' channels, and in the process, streamline training and support, while also providing students with the convenience of a single digital reading experience.
