Inclusive access models, including Barnes & Noble College’s
First Day™ model, offer course materials at reduced prices through
a course materials charge for participating programs. Students have
the option to receive their materials on or before the first day of
class, delivered seamlessly through their learning management
system.
“We are thrilled to partner with SAGE to further access to
high-quality digital content in inclusive access models being used
by colleges and universities nationwide,” said Ann Fraley, Vice
President, Campus Solutions, Barnes & Noble College. “Inclusive
access remains an important driver of affordability, access and
achievement in higher education, and we are proud to work closely
with our publishing partners to expand the use of these models on
the campuses we serve.”
“SAGE College is committed to student success not only by
curating high-quality content from expert authors and delivering
that content in a variety of formats, but also by expanding access
and affordable purchase options,” said Michele Sordi, Senior Vice
President and Head of US College. “We believe that providing
students more options for access to high-quality course materials
will empower them to take control of their learning and enhance
their engagement with their courses. We are delighted to be
partnering with Barnes & Noble Education in this effort.”
A recent survey from Barnes & Noble College Insights℠ found
that more than a third of college students felt unprepared for the
first day of the 2019 spring semester. Inclusive access models
ensure students have the materials they need at the start of the
semester, allowing faculty members to begin instruction on day one
and ultimately driving positive outcomes for students, faculty and
institutions.
