The Future is Digital-First.
Your Partner Should be, Too.
Hundreds of colleges are moving to a "Digital-First" course materials model through which every student automatically receives their textbooks, in an affordable digital format, right through the LMS.
This operationally efficient, more equitable approach is the undeniable future—and RedShelf is the Digital-First partner to get you there. While many vendors have their roots in traditional print, we've been focused since our founding exclusively on being the very best at digital content delivery.

“A school network can have hundreds, if not thousands of entry-points to ingest digital content, with complex workflows that prohibit access and equity among students. RedShelf is simplifying the course materials distribution process and delivering a more affordable, engaging, safe, and frictionless learning experience to millions and millions of students.”

Working With RedShelf
What Our Partners Are Saying...
RedShelf has proven to be a true game-changer for our students as they now have access to course materials on day 1 at a much more affordable price than ever before. From a student perspective, their customer service, app, and ease of integration within our LMS have made the transition to digital texts a smooth one! From an institutional perspective, I have been so impressed with the responsiveness and advocacy experienced. The customer service has far outshone the competition and is what led us to choose to partner with RedShelf over other digital providers.

RedShelf has been the most reliable partner in our Inclusive Access program. It starts with the people you employ; whenever we, at the bookstore, need something, the responses are always same-day and the same is true when our students need something. So many companies out there (not just in the digital or textbook market) could learn many things about the way to conduct themselves with clients and partners alike.
