In 2007, supported by five of the most prominent textbook publishers in higher education, HE Distributions LLC started out with the simple goal of providing instructors in college and higher education a better textbook evaluation service. We knew that for instructors, getting textbooks for evaluation was a tedious and time consuming task. They'd contact the publisher directly, then wait days for a book to ship or wait for the publisher sales representative to deliver it in person. And go through the same process again for each book they wanted to review. For publishers, it was just as difficult, spending millions of dollars each year to give away thousands of sample textbooks to faculty across the country, without knowing if an instructor would eventually assign the book for their course. HE Distributions LLC set out to transform this costly and inefficient process by building the world's largest library of eTextbooks and digital course materials that instructors could access instantly - anytime, anywhere. Within a year after launch, over 30,000 faculty had used their eTextbook evaluaton service.
