This letter from Fairchild Books announces new digital initiatives to provide educational resources to interior design students and instructors. Fairchild Books has partnered with CourseSmart to make textbooks and materials accessible online and through ebooks. They have also partnered with NOOK Study to provide resources through their ebook platform. Additionally, Fairchild Books has redesigned their website to function as a portal for both students and instructors to access information on titles, supplementary materials, and online purchasing. While expanding into digital media, Fairchild Books reaffirms their commitment to publishing inspiring and informative interior design titles grounded in fundamentals.
2. Dear Interior Design Educators,
As we greet 2012, we at Fairchild Books are excited not only to
announce our new titles and editions, but also to fill you in on some
exciting initiatives we’ve recently launched.
We don’t have to tell you that the academic publishing market is in
transition, with today’s students expecting a choice between the screen
and the printed page when accessing course materials. Fairchild Books
is addressing these changes with new digital solutions designed to
enhance your ability to instruct and inspire this generation.
First, we have partnered with CourseSmart, the world’s largest
provider of eTextbooks, to make our books and educational resources
accessible to students anytime, anywhere, on the computer or web-
enabled mobile device of their choosing.
Second, Fairchild educational resources for interior design students
and professionals will be available through NOOK Study, an application
designed to make textbooks easily accessible and more affordable.
This year also brings a redesigned Fairchild Books web site. Our
thoroughly updated site will provide both instructors and students a
one-stop portal for information about our titles and supplementary
educational materials, as well as an online store from which books can
be purchased.
While our expansion to digital media marks a new chapter for Fairchild
Books, one thing will never change: our commitment to publishing
interior design titles that are inspiring, informative, and rooted in time-
proven fundamentals. We are privileged to partner with authors who
care passionately about educating the next generation of interior
designers. Whether the medium is paper or pixels, our mission remains
to bridge the gap from education to industry, and to assist you in the
essential task of shaping the interior design professionals of the future.
