What customers say about us

Professor of Law at Howard University School of Law

LiveCarta is an innovative, cost effective and quick way to produce a case book. It offers both an online and a well bound, well printed, glossy physical copy option. The staff are efficient, helpful and very responsive throughout the production process. There is no other option that offers such a quick turnaround time. What is particularly unique is the option to easily make revisions for subsequent editions.

Spears-Gilbert Associate Professor of Law, UK Rosenberg College of Law

Open-access publishing is the future of legal pedagogy, and LiveCarta is on the cutting edge. I deeply appreciate their work formatting, distributing, and promoting the open-access professional responsibility casebook I co-authored. Our goal was to make free teaching materials available to as many people as possible, and LiveCarta helped make it happen.

James E. Simon

Distinguished Professor, Department of Plant Biology

I found LiveCarta to be amazing educational platform. Both using it as a remote teaching platform and/or as a supplement to in person class lectures, LiveCarta provided me with the needed flexibility and ease of posting, revising and updating; and even more important the students with the needed ease of taking notes and adding their own comments and questions to all posted information. The students loved the system. I will be converting all my class materials onto LiveCarta.

LiveCarta has enabled me to publish a casebook that is easily accessible to students at low or no cost to them.  I can make revisions whenever new developments come along to keep the material current.  I think this is the way to go with casebook publishing!

Yes! LiveCarta supports integration with all IMS LTI 1.3 compliant learning management systems, including Canvas, Black Board, Moodle, and D2L.

A licensing agreement is signed for any books distributed via LiveCarta, and once it is signed and the books are ingested they can be made available in the Catalog (or only privately for the users you choose). You have full control over privacy and usage settings and can make minor revisions and publish new editions at any time. You may choose to upload your work to LiveCarta yourself or our team can upload it to your account free of charge. We work with content partner organizations and independent authors alike.

We offer customization options for the majority of the titles available in the LiveCarta Catalog, but it is at the content owner’s discretion to enable those capabilities, so not all titles can be customized or remixed. Visit the respective pages in our Catalog to discover the unique features of each title. If customization is allowed, it will be clearly listed on the product’s page and accessible in your library upon purchase.

On LiveCarta, content owners like authors and publishers have the ability to control what actions customers can take with their titles. The features and capabilities of each title can be found on its page in the Catalog since each title, and the things you can do with them is different. If you are able to create a Custom copy or use a chapter in a Collection using the built-in tools on LiveCarta, it means that the content owner has given consent for that type of usage. If the content owner chose not to allow such usage, the functions will not be available inside your account.
