Deep-linking into the Bedford Collection via your Barnes & Noble's LMS

Barnes & Noble College now supports Explore Subscription deep linking through your LTI-compliant LMS/portal. Please confirm with your LMS admin that the appropriate external tool has been configured within your LMS before proceeding.

Note: A pre-existing integration with Barnes & Noble College is required. If you need to set up the integration with Barnes & Noble College, please click on the name of your Learning Management System (LMS) below to access instructions.

Prior to creating links in your course, identify which Bedford Bookshelf (BBS) Collection you are using and the VitalSource Subscription SKU. 

  • The Explore Subscription SKU (VBID)
    • The Bedford Bookshelf Collection: English
      • Subscription SKU (VBID): SUB7449856969R180
    • The Bedford Bookshelf Collection: American History
      • Subscription SKU (VBID): SUB5486693377R180
    • The Bedford Bookshelf Collection: World/Euro/West
      • Subscription SKU (VBID): SUB6460990691R180
    • Custom Bedford Bookshelf:
      • Please contact your sales representative for SKU VBID information

The Prefile Deep Link Template for your BBS Collection converts your links to deep links.

Each Deep link template is available at the bottom of this page.

  • English Bedford Bookshelf - Prefilled template
  • American History Bedford Bookshelf - Prefilled template
  • World, European, and Western Civilization - Prefilled template

For custom Bedford Collection, please contact your sales representative.

Once you have gathered this information and selected the specific book you would like students to access, you will be able to create your specific links.
