BASKING RIDGE, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Barnes
& Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED)
, a leading provider of
educational products and services solutions for higher education and
K-12 institutions, and Wiley
(NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb),
a global leader in research and education,
today announced an expanded relationship, which will bring wider access
to affordable, digital course materials to campuses nationwide. Through
a newly signed agreement, Wiley digital content will be made available
through inclusive access models offered on campuses served by BNED
through its Barnes
& Noble College
and MBS
Textbook Exchange
subsidiaries.


Wiley has been a close partner for many years, and we look forward to
expanding our relationship to benefit millions of students,” said Ann
Fraley, Vice President, Campus Solutions, Barnes & Noble College. “By
offering Wiley’s digital content through our First Day™ inclusive access
model, we will ensure wider access to affordable course materials at the
more than 1,400 campuses served by Barnes & Noble College and MBS
nationwide.”

Wiley understands the financial burden felt by students and we are
committed to ensuring they have the materials needed to maximize their
success and learning outcomes,” said Alan Pavese, VP, Pricing &

allows us to provide more students with the affordable course materials
they need.”
