Now, library members can access The Great Courses Library
Collection exclusively via the RBdigital app—without breaking
library budgets
LEICESTER, England, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- W.F.Howes Ltd, an RBmedia company, today announced that The
Great Courses Library Collection will soon be available exclusively
on the RBdigital™ app. For the first time in the industry,
libraries have an affordable way to offer members unlimited access
to streaming video through an innovative pricing model.
Rather than offering The Great Courses on a pay-per-lesson
model, W.F.Howes provides library members unlimited access to The
Great Courses during any seven-day period. The RBdigital
unlimited model enables library members to binge-watch videos the
same way they do on subscription streaming video services like
Netflix—costing libraries a few pence per view compared to other
library vendors.
With the addition of The Great Courses Library Collection in
this exclusive unlimited model, library members will be able to
"binge-learn" over 150 of the most popular courses taught by the
world's top professors. With hundreds of videos on subjects ranging
from photography to physics, The Great Courses Library Collection
offers engaging lectures for virtually every library member.
"The addition of The Great Courses Library Collection makes our
education offering to library members one of the most robust in the
industry," says Miles Stevens-Hoare,
General Manager of International for RBmedia. "Via the RBdigital
app, library members can also access music and art instruction and
software training—as well as audiobooks, magazines, and
eBooks."
The Great Courses joins an ever-increasing number of content
services available on the RBdigital app. It allows library members
to access the broadest array of content services available in the
industry all in one app including:
- Audiobooks—Only RBdigital delivers access to thousands
of exclusive W.F.Howes audiobook titles, as well as premium content
from other major publishers.
- eBooks—Bestselling and award-winning eBooks by top
authors.
- Magazines and Comics—The largest collection of digital
magazines for libraries, as well as hundreds of top comics from
major brands.
- Entertainment—A wide range of entertainment content,
including award-winning comedies, documentaries, drama, animation,
shorts, classic TV, Spanish telenovelas and movies, concert films,
and more.
- Education—A comprehensive collection that includes art
and music instruction, software training, and more.
- Music—Full-length concerts and music documentaries.
