JISC has funded an e-books for Further Education (FE) project to make over 3,000 e-books freely available to every college and sixth form in the UK.
Over the next five years, the project, which also received funding from the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), will enable all students in FE in the UK to access online course texts to support their studies.
E-books will be made available from the start of the next academic year via the ebrary e-books platform. Subjects will range from Fashion Design to Software Engineering, Health and Social Care to Automobile Electronics, and Beauty Therapy to Practical Lambing. Access will be available whether students are studying in the college, at home or in an Internet café.
