Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for indexing and providing electronic publications (e.g., books) in a networked computing environment. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a publication application in which course instructors (e.g., in an educational embodiment) may designate books available for their students, and students may view and obtain such available publications. In a typical embodiment, a student/user will log into the application (e.g., from an electronic device such as a computer, a tablet, a smart phone, etc.) and view a list of courses in which the student is enrolled and/or publications available thereto. A student may select a publication from the list upon which the publication application may: obtain the selected publication, detect a format thereof, launch an appropriate electronic reading application (e.g., based on the detected format of the electronic publication), and display the publication using the electronic reading application. |
