Case Study: North Shore Community College achieves equitable, instant digital textbook access with BibliU

North Shore Community College gives 10,000 students instant digital access with BibliU

North Shore Community College, a non-residential institution serving a diverse student body with significant time constraints, faced a challenge in providing equitable and affordable access to required course materials. Their physical textbook reserves were inflexible, requiring students to be on campus for limited periods, a problem exacerbated when the COVID-19 pandemic rendered print reserves completely inaccessible. The college needed a digital solution to serve its entire student base.

The vendor BibliU implemented its On-Demand Learning model, which provided a single point of access for digital reserves integrated with the college's course management system. This gave students immediate and concurrent access to content, ensuring the library only paid for materials that were actually used. With BibliU, North Shore Community College achieved an affordable, equitable, and accessible solution that empowered all students with the digital content needed to succeed in their studies.
