You have book on book shelf and in the cloud.

  7. There is not a lot of interaction, but it does keep content protected with Vital Source. It has DRM (digital rights management) around it. This allows us to lock down our content and control the subscription length – and how students can use the content (copy, paste, and print).

  8. This is the Vital Source bookshelf viewer that a student would download to the Vital Source website.
