Lend it, do not lose it

Lending is not selling with a timer bolted on. Permissions have to expire cleanly, the borrower has to be able to read on the device they own, and the person who needs an accessible edition should not have to ask twice. The machinery behind it is our e-lending product.

How lending works here

Make a title available for a specified length of time. When that period ends, the permission expires and the content returns itself — no reminder email, no overdue conversation, nothing for the borrower to do.

Where a title needs stronger enforcement than the rest of the collection, resource-level DRM lets you raise protection on that title alone rather than on everything, in reading applications built on RMSDK 10.0 or above.

Talk it through

What institutions ask for

Timed loans: Fixed-period access with automatic return, holds and queues.
Concurrent-user licensing: Seat or concurrency limits for a school, faculty or campus.
Cohort-restricted video: Lecture and course video that plays only for enrolled students, watermarked with their identity.
Accessible formats: EPUB 3 accessibility, NIMAS and DAISY production in the same group, at NIMAS Master.
Usage reporting: Loans, renewals and playback by title and period, for collection decisions and for funders.

For teaching institutions specifically

A course is rarely one format. The reading, the workbook and the recorded session all leak differently.

One account, both media: Protected PDF/A workbooks and protected video under a single contract and a single usage report.
Moodle and LMS integration: Course teams publish protected video without raising a development ticket.
Identity in the frame: Dynamic watermarking makes an onward share attributable rather than anonymous.
