DRM—Digital Rights Management

DRM is a technological means to protect files from being copied illegally. The eBook Collection uses DRM to protect any eBooks downloaded from the system. This means students will only be able to use the downloaded PDF file for themselves. This page shows how to access protected PDF files.

The eBook Collection is a library of hundreds of books available for students to search, browse, and read. This tool is available to all University of Phoenix students as a part of rEsource—our platform for the delivery of electronic course materials.

The Collection contains books covering many different fields including management, business, technology, education, and health sciences.

How will you know if the eBook Collection is used in your class?

If your course used PDF files for class readings, the links on the rEsource page may have looked like this:
 
READING: Project Management and the Organization, Chapter 2 (View)
READING: Project Management and the Organization, Chapter 2 (Print)

If the eBook Collection is being used, the links now look like this:
