How the UDT Program Works
The UDT Program from MBS adds eBooks to the traditional new and used print mix. The new product brings students a digital alternative that was previously only available to them online and outside of the bookstore.
The UDT Program is truly a first in many ways. Not only do eBooks offer students greater savings than they've ever experienced with print, they also transform the learning environment into a new, interactive experience complete with notes and commenting tools, keyword searching, and more exciting features. It's not just students who enjoy new benefits associated with this revolutionary product; bookstores do as well. With eBooks, bookstores are free to set their own prices based on their individual needs and goals.
