VitalSource Help

Bookstore staff is happy to help walk you through gaining access to your eBook! Stop into the bookstore and grab a seat at our eBook help desk anytime throughout the semester! 

 
Please note there is a difference between an eBook and Access Card.
If you purchased an access card, it is something you physically have to either pick up from the bookstore or have it mailed to you.
 
If you purchased an eBook through our online store, you will receive an email from Hudson Valley Community College subject line, Your VitalSource Redemption Code is Ready (after the bookstore fulfills your order, 24-48 hours). Follow the Redeem Link and the steps below.
 
If you purchased an eBook in store and have a 20- digit code on your receipt:
 
1. Create/Login to hvcc.vitalsource.com We highly recommend using your hvcc.edu email address
2. Click your name and BookShelf and Redeem Code. Enter your 20-digit code from receipt
3. In your account under 'My Shelf', you'll see the item you purchased- Click on it, window on the right will open
 
If you purchased an eBook only- You can begin reading
You'll go back to VitalSource to read the eBook each time. 

If you purchased an item for Business Capstone, MindTap, Modified Mastering, MyLab, Revel or WebAssign-

1. It will say Access Code below the book, click the three dots and Access Code Instructions

2. Click Reveal Access Code

At this point you need to locate either the class link (most likely the first homework assignment) or course key your instructor provided. (Check BrightSpace or your course syllabus) This link/course key allows you to join in your teacher's class assignments. You'll follow either to the publishers website, create an account and paste the Access Code from VitalSource. Further Instructions:

Pearson- You'll use your course key/ID, provided by your instructor, and then paste the code from VitalSource. Or if your teacher provided a link directly to Pearson, follow that and then paste the code from VitalSource. 
Cengage- Once you make an account, you'll find 'Enter Access Code/Course Key" in your Dashboard. You'll use your course link/key provided by your instructor and the code you copied from VitalSource.
 

You should now have access to your eBook materials. From this point forward, you will go directly to Pearson or Cengage, not back to VitalSource. 

Cengage Unlimited- Allows you access to Cengage's entire library of e-texts, online platforms and more. You can search for any e-text or follow your instructor's course key to access class materials.
