BibliU Overview for Students

What is BibliU?

BibliU is a digital textbook platform that some, but not all, courses at FSW may use. If your course requires BibliU, your instructor will provide access details and instructions on how to use it. Be sure to check your syllabus or course announcements to see if it's needed for your class.

It's designed to make educational resources more accessible to students, offering digital versions of textbooks that can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. BibliU offers features like highlighting, note-taking, and search functionality within the texts. Best of all, if your course is enrolled in the Inclusive Access program, your eBook and any courseware is available on the first day of class.

How will I access my eBooks?

You will access eBooks and Course Materials through the BibliU Course Materials bookshelf located in the Canvas Course Navitation menu.

If your course is enrolled in the Inclusive Access program, your eBook and Courseware is available immediately on BibliU Course Materials bookshelf. You do not have to order anything!
If your course DOES NOT participate with Inclusive Access, order your eBook through the FSW bookstore link. The eBook and any Courseware instructions will be provided by the bookstore. (Dual enrollment students from public schools will still pick up their textbooks from their school's media center. Home and private school students will still get their course materials via voucher exchange at the FSW Bookstore.)

BibliU provides top-notch customer support for students. Take a look at how to Get Started with BibliU.

Will my campus still have a bookstore?

Yes! BibliU Campus will operate the physical stores on Collier and Lee Campuses, as well as pop-up shops and alternative bookstore options on the Charlotte Campus. Please note that the Hendry-Glades campus will not have a physical bookstore or pop-up location. Students must place their textbook orders online, including items that need to be charged to Financial Aid. All orders will be shipped directly to students' addresses.

Get your books, supplies and FSW spirit gear at the FSW Bookstore.

What if I want to opt-out of Inclusive Access?

This is not recommended. IMPORTANT! Please note that if you opt-out, you will then be responsible for obtaining the required course materials on your own.

Inclusive Access offers FSW students exclusive, affordable prices that are not available anywhere else. Dual-enrolled students are automatically part of the Inclusive Access program and should not opt-out. If you decide you do not want to purchase the course materials provided to you as part of this program, you can opt out of the program in your Canvas course by following the BibliU opt-out instructions.

Does BibliU have a phone app?

Yes, you can access your books offline with the BibliU app! From the BibliU Course Materials link in your class, you can scan the QR code with your device to locate the correct app.

Alternatively, you can download BibliU's native app for your device. Please see this support article about Downloading the BibliU app.

Please be aware that some titles may not be available for download due to publisher restrictions.
