UMASS
Dartmouth Campus Store Provides Digital Textbooks,
A
Lower-Cost Textbook Option
The UMASS Dartmouth campus store
will provide students with downloadable eBooks, a cost-saving
electronic alternative to printed textbooks, for selected digitally
available titles. The bookstore’s decision to participate in the
Universal Digital Textbooks Program™ reflects a deep commitment
to delivering a proactive response to the high-cost-of-textbooks
discussion. The store believes that introducing a lower-priced
electronic textbook option, in addition to the new and used print
versions of certain titles, offers students an important choice when
it comes to both price and learning environment.
eBooks versions of the text offer students the
opportunity to save up to 40% off of
the new book price. Unlike printed textbooks, which may or may not
have buyback value at the end of the term, eBooks offer upfront
savings at the time of purchase and are not subject to buyback.
In addition to presenting significant upfront
savings, downloadable eBooks offer students the convenience of
bringing the text wherever they bring their laptops. As well, eBooks
transform the learning environment into an interactive experience
where students use free reader software to search the text, highlight,
take notes and make comments, and print selections as desired. Many
eBooks also offer read-out-loud capability. Most eBooks never expire
and have no printing limitations, however, a few titles expire 12
months after download and restrict printing to 100 pages per week. In
these cases, limitations will be noted on the eBooks cards that
students will use to purchase their digital textbooks.
eBooks are available to students as cards,
similar to electronic gift cards and phone service cards, and can be
obtained in the textbook department as an alternative to the new and
used versions of the printed text. A student who chooses to purchase
an eBook will present the card to the cashier, who activates the card
by swiping it at the register. The student can then download the book
by visiting www.DigitalTextbooks.net.
There are currently more than 1600 titles in the Universal Digital
Textbooks program, with more being added all of the time.
The information contained within eBooks is
copyright protected in accordance with Digital Rights Management
rules. These rules protect intellectual property by allowing a single
download to a single computer, setting the length of time that the
book can be accessed on the computer (ranging from 12 months to
unlimited availability, depending on the publisher), and using an
encoding technique that prevents file sharing. While students cannot
share eBooks, they can make backup copies to prevent data loss in case
of computer failure.
To purchase an
eBook, or for more information about this money-saving option, visit
the store. For activation
or questions about your Universal Digital Textbook log on to www.DigitalTextbooks.net.
