Vital Source

VitalSource has been at the forefront for more than a decade of providing ebook access solutions for textbook and courseware providers, as well as providing students with direct purchasing options.

VitalSource empowers virtual college bookstores, publishers, and other stakeholders in the digital delivery of learning content ecosystem with a variety of workflow, analytics, and platform delivery solutions. As VitalSource grows and its reach increases globally, the university library has become a more central partner to VitalSource in the delivery of ebooks. The leadership at VitalSource has turned to David Parker to understand the workflow solutions unique to university libraries for ebook acquisition as well as new global players and entrants designing solutions unique to the institutional requirements libraries demand from ebook providers.

"VitalSource is working to deliver platforms and insights that drive transformative learning so
that all students have what they need to thrive. This mission has led to the development of
market leading solutions in platform integration, access management, transaction
management, and content delivery. University libraries, especially outside the United States,
have become more central to digital curriculum procurement. We turned to David's consulting
expertise to help us better understand how libraries acquire digital content and to help us
evaluate new products and partnerships, all with a focus on saving students’ money and
improving learning outcomes."
