    CourseNotes are designed using software designed by VitalSource Technologies to provide you with an easy

    to use tool to view your CourseNotes and organize them to suit your own needs.

    CourseNotes download to your computer, much like music les, so that you can access them anywhere and

    any time you are at your computer. Unlike other e-books, CourseNotes are much more than pictures of

    pages you have the ability search the CourseNotes of single courses, or any group of CourseNotes that

    you have purchased. You can also take searchable notes, highlight important portions of the course, easily

    print out each course, customize your page views, and even copy-and-paste content with bibliographic

    support.

    How do they work?

    CourseNotes requires a free software download of the VitalSource Bookshelf (available at http://www.

    vitalsource.com/index/bookshelf). The Bookshelf allows you to download your CourseNotes to up to two

    separate computers, so you can have a copy at home and at work. CourseNotes and the VitalSource Bookshelf

    are compatible with Windows PCs and Macs.

    You dont need to be connected to the Internet to use your CourseNotes; you can read, highlight, or take notes

    whenever you are at your computer. The Bookshelf is designed to allow you to customize your page layout

    so you can read the material exactly the way you want to see it. You can choose from a Browser, Column, or

    Reading view.

    You can search your CourseNotes easily using

    key words and phrases. You can also search

    multiple CouseNotes simultaneously to provide

    you with information about a topic, like effective

    communication, that is discussed in more than one

    eCornell course.

    You have the ability to highlight content in

    CourseNotes and to choose your highlighting

    color in order to differentiate different pieces of

    information. You can also take notes right in the

    bookshelf about the materials and have your notes

    be fully searchable.

    Course notes are available to our individual

    customers for US$29.00 each. Learners who enroll

    through an eCornell corporate program may be eligible for reduced rates.
