The Radford University Libraries' e-textbook collection is the result of a collaboration between the University bookstore, the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA), and the University Libraries. These titles are requested by university faculty during the semester, either through the bookstore or through the VIVA Faculty Textbook Portal. This portal will close on July 31, 2025, due to EBSCO deprecation/decommissioning of their classic interface. The e-textbooks are available the following semester. As a result, their use saves Radford students money by eliminating or lessening the need to purchase physical textbooks.
All titles in this collection are permanent - they won't disappear like some ebooks do - and offer unlimited access.
