Accessing the eText

The VitalSource eText in this course contains all readings, examples, and other material you would find in a printed book. You will be able to highlight, bookmark, and annotate the etext. And you can download the eText, for those times when you are offline.

Inside every Canvas assignment that requires a reading, select the Chapter link to go directly to the VitalSource Bookshelf.

Once you get into the appropriate section, traditional browser actions work, such as scrolling, copying, finding, etc…  The progress bar located at the bottom of the screen gives you access to page numbers, progress, bookmarks, printing, zoom options, highlighting, and annotating.

There are a multitude of additional resources in the text which are all hyperlinked. If you see a traditional hyperlink, you can click and get additional information or resources about the topic.
