Inclusive Access Course Materials: Information for Students

  1. Log into your Canvas course.  Locate and access the "Inclusive Access Materials" link from the course navigation items on the left.
  2. Your VitalSource dashboard should open and display your course materials.
  3. Click the "Read Now" button under the displayed course textbook.  You may be asked to set up a VitalSource Bookshelf account.  This is a one time process for all of your eBooks available through inclusive access.  Once this is done, you will be able to access your materials within the Bookshelf App.  Bookmark it in your browser or access through your Canvas course.
