Link Your Course to a Learning Management System

Will you be linking Vantage to your institution's Learning Management System?

First: Check with your bookstore manager to determine if your campus publisher integration is serviced by Follett's Willo Labs or by VitalSource rather than by Sage.

Sage Integrations

If your Learning Management System is serviced by Sage, learn about how to deep link Vantage to your specific LMS using the following guides, or by following a Click-Along training. We also have live webinars for linking.
