Thousands of OA / OER titles

We have selected over 10,000 OA and OER titles from a wide number of leading commercial academic publishers and university/academic sources, that are now readily available on our site.

The collection has been expertly curated by our team, with a strong focus on core OA, leading academic publishers as well as OER content that, as a minimum has been selected by academics for use in teaching.

The collection will continue to be expanded and we would be delighted to hear from any customers who have other OER / OA resources they would like us to consider, look at and / or work to build bespoke collections to support specific areas of study.

Efficient content management with DCS

Digital Content Store (DCS) allows an institution to request, digitise, clear the rights and provide links to content through CLA workflows.

Once cleared, students are able to access the content using the Kortext reader from an CLA provided link from either their reading list or VLE without requiring them to log in to a Kortext account.

If a student wishes to use personalised features from the Kortext reader, such as Notes and Bookmarks, they must create or login to a Kortext account.

For more information, please visit our Help Centre where a guide on this can be found.

Manchester University

The University of Manchester partnered with Kortext in a shift towards digital learning and to address access issues, especially for large cohorts where print provision couldn’t meet demand.

“Usage of all the different functionalities on the platform has increased in the past year, except printing copies which has decreased, thus highlighting a positive shift towards digital learning.”

Olivia Walsby, Reading List Services Manager at University of Manchester
