How do I use VitalSource?

Some student core texts and some course workbooks are now provided via VitalSource Bookshelf. You will need to register using your BPP email address.

Vital Source Bookshelf is an eBook platform with a lot of functionality. Top right, when you are viewing a book, you should be able to search, change your viewing preferences, bookmark/annotations/highlight and create flashcards and under the three dots print pages, access read aloud features etc.

You can also download an app and the book, so you read or listen offline too. Some other readers/apps support reading the books. Check under Help/Support for more information about compatible apps/devices.

Change display method: usually on the left you have a table of contents. You can close the table by using the symbol top left where you see three lines underneath each other if, for example, you want to view a page in full (like reading a book).

If you choose to print some pages you can select the pages you want to print. You can separately export and share any notes you have made if you choose that link.
