Pearson Custom Library gives you the power to create tailor-made materials for your course that save time and control student costs
The process of developing course materials can be extremely time-consuming. Many instructors spend countless hours and resources searching for the right materials for their course, only to end up settling for something that doesn't quite fit, or requiring students to purchase multiple, expensive textbooks, using only a few chapters from each. With the Pearson Custom Library online book building platform , you can select as many or as few chapters as you need to suit your course, or combine chapters from multiple texts, and we'll custom publish your unique text. You're in full control of the content, sequence, and price, so you get what you want, and students pay only for what they need.
