Inclusive Access (sometimes called “First Day”) is done at the campus level (usually involving the bookstore), and not all campuses are yet set up to offer this. If Inclusive Access is available on your campus, students get the particular version of the eBook (see Partner Platforms) prescribed by the campus and bookstore. This might be a VitalSource eBook, or might be our LAB BOOK, depending on your campus’s rules. Please be aware that our VitalSource eBooks are PDF-based, do not render well on a smartphone or tablet, and do not offer any of the advanced features of our LAB BOOK.

One key advantage of the Inclusive Access model is that rather than each student purchasing the product from us or the bookstore, it is automatically charged through to their campus account. Students can opt out of this automatic purchase if they have already procured their materials by another means.
