Philadelphia, PA, July 7, 2009: F. A. Davis Company, the nation’s oldest independent publisher, has announced that it has partnered with CourseSmart to provide electronic textbooks to students and instructors across the country. “By adding e-Editions to our deliverability, we are able to provide nursing, health profession, and medical content in any format that the student wants or needs,” said Robert H. Craven, Jr., President, F.A. Davis Company.
“We’re excited to partner with CourseSmart to help students across the country save money,” said Craven. “The search, download, copy and paste, and highlight features will also allow students to take advantage of digital efficiencies and help streamline their studies.”
CourseSmart’s electronic textbooks enable students to access their textbooks from anywhere, at any time, without purchasing additional hardware or a dedicated reading device. The electronic textbooks’ search and copy and paste features, as well as their integration with existing tools like notes and summaries help to reduce the amount of time students spend searching for individual subjects and creating study guides.
“CourseSmart’s mission is to provide faculty and students with eTextbook versions of their essential educational content in all discipline areas, and Nursing, Medicine, and the Health Sciences are important areas of growth,” said Sean Devine, Chief Executive Officer of CourseSmart. “Adding F.A. Davis to our list of partner publishers will help students looking to help advance the health care system have a new, more efficient way to study.”
In addition to the cost-saving benefits to students, faculty members are able to access F.A. Davis e-Editions as a resource and evaluation tool and to take advantage of the time savings and digital efficiencies created by accessing their course materials online. Both students and faculty also have access to all of the resources available for their title on DavisPlus, F.A. Davis’s online source for a wealth of title-specific learning resources and teaching tools.
