NOVA Libraries VIVA Curriculum Driven Acquisitions eBooks

In partnership with VIVA, Virginia’s academic library consortium, NOVA Libraries are excited to provide the resources included in this guide as part of the Curriculum Driven Acquisitions (CDA) Program.

The licenses for the listed eBooks allow for unlimited simultaneous users, so all NOVA affiliated users should be able to access them.

VIVA’s Curriculum Driven Acquisitions (CDA) Program supports e-book purchases for bookstore course content available through GOBI for your institution, and any e-books purchased through this program will be perpetual access, unlimited usage, and DRM-free or DRM-light.

For any questions, please contact Jeff Prater jprater@nvcc.edu.

If an eBook you’re using or planning to use for a course is on the list, please share the proxied link(s) with your students.

More specifically, you can:

• Ask the bookstore to update the book’s listing from “required” to “recommended”
• Include the link in your syllabus
• Include the link on Canvas 
• Email the information to your students

Please contact Jeff Prater, Collection Development and OER Librarian, at jprater@nvcc.edu if you shared an eBook link with your students, and please include the number of students enrolled in the course. Your response will help support future funding for this program.
