Description

State of College Course Materials 2016-2017

The College Course Materials Market Trends & Forecast annual reports from Simba Information provide an overview of the changing market for instructional resources in higher education in the U.S. This new edition continues that tradition in two parts. The first part, State of College Course Materials 2016—2017, is now available and focuses on two main areas:
  • current landscape conditions in the higher education market and
  • the competitive environment for publishers and distributors of instructional resources for college programs.
Simba provides both sizing and context for the market segments of new course materials: new textbooks (print), digital media (including etextbooks) and used textbooks.

The report discusses market segment sales estimates for 2015 and 2016 and market segment projections for 2017.

The second half—College Course Materials Trends & Outlook 2018-2020—to be published at the end of 2017/beginning of 2018—will update trends building steam in 2017 that are likely to persist into the next several years. The report also will provide the outlook for the higher education publishing industry and sales segment projections through 2020.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
