Our library aims to provide every student with easy access to their required textbooks, and we use Kortext as our platform for e-textbooks linked to reading lists and the library catalogue. We aim to ensure that all essential textbooks not yet available on a multiple-user e-book model can be accessed on this platform. In this session, we will investigate the accessible features of the Kortext platform, analyse user data to demonstrate usage and patterns, and present findings from initial research on how students registered with DLS utilize the Kortext platform.
