Purpose
Provides publishers with a holistic view of institutions VitalSource works with as well as the type of program models those institutions have for recent and upcoming terms.
Report Notes
- There are no access filters on this report. All publisher users will see the same results. There is no publisher-specific information in the report.
- Key Terminology for this report:
- Catalog - metadata that represents a specific Institution’s department, course, section, and content for a specific term.
- Schedule - a VitalSource-generated object that represents a group of common dates for a given institution.
- Example: Institution “AWESOME” has a catalog that includes: 5 departments with 10 total courses and 20 total sections. Five (5) sections have a Term Start Date of 01-Dec-2024 and ten (10) sections have a Term Start Date of 15-Jan-2025. Of the 10 sections starting 15-Jan-2025, five (5) have an opt-out deadline of 31-Jan-2025 and the remaining five (5) have an opt-out deadline of 15-Feb-2025. As a result, VitalSource sets up three (3) schedules: Schedule A: representing the 5 sections whose Term Start Date = 01-Dec-2024; Schedule B: representing the 5 sections whose opt-out is 31-January-2025 and Schedule C: representing the 5 sections whose opt-out is 15-Feb-2025.
- Data reported includes previous two (2) terms, current term, and upcoming term.
| 🔵 For upcoming terms, the catalog and schedule data is showing for catalogs regardless of whether they have been activated. This means that the data can change and may not be complete. |
| ⚠️ Any upcoming term data is subject to change. Please note that changes are possible to program models until the term start; any data surfaced for upcoming terms is based on what VitalSource knows to be true as of the day prior to end-user viewing or downloading. |
