For students using print versions OUP textbooks and need immediate access to a digital version, they have partnered with our eBook providers, RedShelf and VitalSource, to supply 60-day access to OUP Higher Education titles at 90% off the bound list price. On average, this typically comes to a $5–$15 fulfillment cost. Please refer them to either site to purchase these reduced price options.
If instructors are teaching from the current edition of their OUP text, students who purchased a new print copy from them will already have access to the ebook via the code printed inside their book. However, if they are still in an older edition of the textbook, or if students purchased used print from another source, then they need to got to RedShelf or VitalSource for digital access and have them look for the 60-day access option at the reduced price.
They have digital resources available on the ARC that may be helpful in building your course.
