Privacy

When accessing or downloading this eText, your student number and email address will be sent to the vendor. No other personal information will be divulged.

Online access to eTexts is provided through single sign on in Moodle course sites. When the eText is activated by clicking on its link, anonymized student information authenticates the user and activates the license.

To download the eText, users are required to set up an account with VitalSource. You will be asked to provide your name and an email address at that time. You will be offered access to the download once you have activated the eText link in Moodle.

Note that the vendor’s website is accessible in the United States and is therefore subject to the U.S. Patriot Act. Any activity, including highlighting, searches, and note-taking that you do can be accessed by U.S. authorities under that act.
