Rockford, IL – Rock Valley College (RVC) is improving access to affordable course materials by joining forces with BibliU, a leader in integrated academic and campus store solutions. This collaboration introduces BibliU’s Universal Learning+, a fully-integrated campus store experience, ensuring students can easily access resources both digitally and in-store.
Through this partnership, every student will have access to their required course materials from the first day of class. BibliU’s Inclusive Access (IA) program eliminates the need for students to worry about finding or affording textbooks. Course content will be seamlessly integrated into the Learning Management System (EAGLE) and delivered via BibliU’s platform, streamlining the experience for students and faculty. With itemized pricing and costs included in tuition, BibliU’s IA ensures learners only pay for the content they need.
BibliU will also support enhanced campus store operations. Students will reap the benefits of a modernized retail space, offering more than just textbooks—course kits, school supplies, and RVC-branded apparel will also be available both in-store and online. This multi-faceted approach ensures convenience for students, whether they are enjoying RVC’s campus or taking advantage of studying remotely.
"BibliU is excited to partner with Rock Valley College to help ensure that all students have instant, affordable access to their required course materials on the first day of class," said Dave Sherwood, Founder and CEO of BibliU. "By eliminating the barriers of textbook costs and access delays, we’re helping to create a more equitable and streamlined learning experience for Illinois-based students and faculty. RVC’s mission of fostering academic success through innovation is something we are proud to support."
"We are very excited to welcome BibliU to the Golden Eagle family,” said Dr. Patrick Peyer, VP of Student Affairs at RVC. “They make it easier and more affordable for our students to access and interact with course materials. Simply put, students will have more options at more affordable pricing."
By adopting BibliU’s comprehensive campus store solution, RVC furthers its commitment to student success by delivering innovative solutions that enhance the learning experience for its students.
