The book comes with a quizzing system, with each student being presented with a timed quiz comprising five questions selected at random from the database of quiz questions for the chapter. Instructors can assign these quizzes in advance of the topics to be covered in class, giving students an incentive to read the chapter in advance of the class. Students read the chapters and take the online quizzes prior to class.

Each chapter features hyperlinks to related information, taking advantage of the online nature of the book. Additionally, the chapters featuring Microsoft Access databases permit the databases to be downloaded by students for further exploration.

The following are some of the resources available for adopting instructors:

• Solutions to end-of-chapter questions and problems
• The ability to make selected solutions available to students
• The ability to view all quiz questions for a chapter
• The ability to generate quiz grade reports
• Sample tests
• Powerpoint files for each chapter
