ASCD has made its entire professional development e-book catalog of more than 300 titles available to Barnes & Noble NOOK Study users.

ASCD e-books in the NOOK library range in topic from leadership to homework to instructional planning, and encompass everything in between—from employing the Understanding by Design® framework to differentiating instruction. 

Barnes & Noble's free NOOK Study application enables PC and Mac users to purchase and download e-textbooks and academic and trade titles from Barnes & Noble's digital library, take searchable notes, and interact with content in meaningful ways. The application also enables student users to access and organize all course materials made available by participating professors, from lecture notes to syllabi.

"ASCD is committed to revolutionizing education, and our effort to digitize our catalog of powerful professional development books is one more important step toward meeting educators who count on us for rich professional development resources where they learn, teach, and lead," said ASCD Executive Director and CEO Gene R. Carter.
