Once\nyou&#8217;ve set up an account, you can choose from millions of titles and get the\nrelevant text into the hands of your students within minutes. The flexibility\nof the system ensures that you always buy the correct number of ebooks for your\nstudents and you\u2019ll only get charged when a student accesses the ebook for the\nfirst time. So there\u2019s no guesswork as to numbers; no wastage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helen Keetarut, the Librarian from Northfields\nInternational School has said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAt Northfields International School we have children from Nursery right through to Year 13, and we are a busy school with lots of book requirements. eBooks.com has been a fantastic supplier for us mainly due to their amazing customer service and friendly helpful staff. We have queries from students and teachers alike and Ebooks.com is always on hand to help. We recently started using their Ebook course management, which has made ordering and allocating books much easier and efficient. This was explained to us in our own private training session.
