The bookstore currently provides access to digital material in a variety of ways, depending on publisher preferences:
1. Through partnerships with digital vendors (e.g. VitalSource, Campus eBookstore), available for purchase via our e-commerce store, bookstore@uleth.ca.
2. Through your Moodle Course.
Simply follow the links in your Moodle course to access your free trial and make your purchase.
3. Physical printed access codes are available via our e-commerce and physical bookstore.
There are still a handful of publishers that prefer to sell access codes printed on a physical card.
Please note: If physical access codes are purchased via our e-commerce store, you may request that we e-mail you the access code rather than mail it.
