"I think the Total Access program is very valuable for students as well as for instructors.

I think having the access to all the materials on the first day is very beneficial to the class pace and how we move forward. I can assign reading and/or problems from the textbook on the first day without worrying about how many students are able to actually access the textbook. There are no delays caused by late payments and/or for shipments to arrive (if they ordered a hard copy).

I’m sure students appreciate it too, as they do not have to take care of purchasing different textbooks for multiple classes. Everything they need for a given semester is already there nicely organized for them."

"Total Access is an asset for students: In addition to being less expensive than hard copy materials, it is also available much sooner and cannot be lost in the mail like hard copies can. It is also easier on the environment for obvious reasons. I recommend Total Access."

"Accessible and affordable resources are essential elements to give our UTK student scholars the excellent learning experience they all deserve.

Thank you to UTK VOLBooks."

"Utilizing the Total Access program for VolBooks has streamlined the textbook experience for students in my undergraduate classes. Besides being able to access the eBook via their computers, students have also been able to make use of the adaptive quizzing software provided by many textbook publishers, which has helped them to study more effectively for the assessments in my class. In HDFS 210, students have been able to design an avatar for themselves and a fictional partner, then raise a virtual child through all the stages of development, as they learn about each stage in class. They really enjoy this virtual parenting simulation!"

"As a faculty member teaching a large lecture course, I really appreciate the Total Access Program for my students to access our textbook. No more carrying around heavy backpacks with thick books. When students log in to our learning management system (Canvas) they have immediate access to the textbook. It saves time and eliminates cumbersome online textbook registration systems. The system continues to improve to make students lives easier. I highly recommend using Total Access for your course books."
