Digital Options

The Dal Bookstore is able to offer digital content from most publishers. Our two main partners in providing digital content are Willo Labs and Campus eBookstore.  
 
Willo Labs integrates into your Brightspace page, meaning there are no access codes for students to redeem. Willo anonymizes student data so that no information is sent to the publishers nor USA servers. This is important to our university. Students have access to the course materials on the first day of class for two weeks. Students can purchase directly from us and access is granted immediately. If faculty or students have issues, they contact Willo and are provided great customer service. We have run a pilot with Willo in the fall and winter of 2020 and are actively looking at courses that would benefit from using Willo as the delivery platform for the course.
 
Campus eBookstore (CEI) provides digital access codes for content from many publishers. We have used CEI for a long time, and it works well. Students receive an access code to redeem through our website, and they are emailed a second code to unlock the content. This two-step process makes returns easier for students who have not redeemed their codes.  
 
At times we will sell printed access codes for smaller publishers who do not have a digital platform to sell them. We are also able to sell some digital products through our affiliate partner, Login Brothers.
 
Please contact one of us for more information on which option will suit you best. And when ordering, please be sure to provide accurate information so we can investigate the best pricing and platform for your course.
