Guide to Skillsoft Books

Note on Links for Faculty

Please note Skillsoft is a subscription similar to Netflix, where content can come and go over time. It is a best practice to create an interactive, engaging reading list in support of the curriculum from various resources and to not link to just one book as a primary text if it is used in the majority of assignments. In these cases, you should use VitalSource or the bookstore instead.  

Linking to Book and Video Titles

A durable, persistent link is available for sharing any book or video within Skillsoft Books.  To find the link:

  • From the results list, click the down arrow next to the Launch button, then select Share.

  • If you have already opened a book or video, click ">>" in the toolbar, then the share symbol from there.

Linking to Chapters

Currently, we can only link to book titles and the links lead to the book's table of contents.  Skillsoft is working on a future update that will allow chapter-level links.
