What is Inclusive Access and Affordable First?

Inclusive Access

BibliU’s Inclusive Access program includes itemized pricing that can be seamlessly added to students’ bills and paid for using financial aid. Students in participating courses are granted access to materials on day one of class, through the LMS system.

Working with thousands of publishers through a content agnostic approach, BibliU can procure the content the institution needs. Inclusive Access gives faculty the freedom to adopt the content they want to teach; this means that more students will get access to the books that they need on day one, improving student outcomes.

Inclusive Access ensures that the price the student is paying for the content (eBooks/courseware) is lower than the market price.

Faculty can be confident that students are receiving both affordability and day 1 access!

Affordable First

Affordable first is a process to help faculty with ensuring that students are receiving their class content (eBooks/Courseware) in the most affordable format. This is typically digital Inclusive Access.

Affordable first means that by default, the most affordable format is provided for the class.

During the adoptions process the content adopters for each class have the option to opt-out of the affordable first program. Opting out of the affordable first will likely mean that the students will receive a more costly format of the content (book adoption).
