Likelihood to Recommend	HelioCampus No answers on this topic	RedShelf RedShelf has been great in a higher ed environment to help connect students to textbook and publisher materials. It has helped make the process of purchasing/accessing those materials so much easier for students. I am at an institution now where we don't have RedShelf, and the faculty and students are regularly frustrated with this process, so I'll be looking to get us a license here soon. RedShelf is particularly useful if instructors are using various different types of materials from different publishers. However, if an institution was only using Cengage Unlimited for example (that is a service where students will just pay for access to that site and all the books/materials for all of their courses would be accessible on there), that would be a time where I would think RedShelf wouldn't provide you with as much benefit. That being said, we may be using RedShelf in a very specific manner, and it may be able to provide us more ability/features that we haven't taken full advantage of.

Pros	HelioCampus No answers on this topic	RedShelf Provides access with or without internet connection to read your books. You can access the application from your mobile device, tablets, or desktop computers. Streamlines the distribution of e-books, e-textbooks, and other digital content.

Cons	HelioCampus No answers on this topic	RedShelf Waiting for a course management tool to streamline the process. It's in the works and a tall order since all clients approach the process differently. A little bit of a stumble with a recent software rollout for day one access roll out, but at least it was intuitive to work through Incentivized Meredith Schreiber Director Bookstore and Auxiliary Services Read full review
