Innovative in approach, Reference Tree is an exciting new resource that delivers electronic textbooks by the chapter. Designed to address the changing dynamics of study and learning in today's digital climate, the service allows students to purchase just the portions of the textbook they require to efficiently complete their coursework. Not only are the most up-to-date sources of information available for learning and study, but the by-chapter approach enables students to spread the investment in course materials throughout the academic year. In addition, the service further enhances the learning experience with key features such as the ability to highlight and annotate text and, coming soon, the ability to collaborate with trusted peers through sharing of notes and comments.

Reference Tree is already supported by world renowned publishers such as Elsevier, Taylor + Francis, Sage, Hodder Education, McGraw Hill, Cambridge University Press and many others who will deliver content through the service. [snip].
