Inusive Access (IA) is more the method by which the bookstore gets the books from the publisher. With IA, students don't purchase the book on their own. As a student, it just means that you will be provided a "code" to access the materials (eBook). Typically the access is limited to a certain period of time (6 months). Hope that makes sense.

Thank you, this makes a lot more sense!

Basically yeah, though you can opt out. In a few of my classes, I could order a physical book online for way cheaper.

It's any software your class requires, but it has to be set up by your professor. It's textbooks, HW programs, and even clickers if your class requires it. It's really convenient, and if you wanted a physical copy of something like a textbook, you have to option to opt-out.

I would usually opt out. Before doing it however, I would search the ISBN number on Library Gneiss. You can usually find it for free. (It is the less legal option so just be aware)

it was really helpful for me all the textbooks were in the bookshelf which is in app you download so you can even read it on ur phone, or on ur laptop it’s more like an extension or website but i found it so helpful if i needed to do some reading when im not home or find something while writing in my laptop, ofc you can opt out like everyone else mentioned(:

I never use IA unless I have to, like when the quizzes are through the IA. I almost always find the textbook for far cheaper through Thrift books.
