Page References

Regarding this sentence: "Users can also find equivalent information based on a page number or range of pages." (From a prior revision, not currently in text.)

This may appear to be promotional in nature. I believe this is a feature that is important to understanding the product, and also to understanding the lawsuit that this company is currently engaged in. This feature is of interest to users and instructors because class reading assignments (and scope of tests) do not always follow clean chapter breaks.

I believe this information should be reinstated - thoughts?

it would be relevant, but I could not find a source for it. If they do it, is it an index, or direct page indications in the text? DGG ( talk ) 03:54, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake - I thought I had a reference for this. I found this information in the FAQ page on Boundless. But the FAQ has changed since I clipped this last month. The question is the same (3rd on page), but the answer now omits a reference to searching by page. (It has also changed to reflect that this is only available in the paid textbook.) I tried it today, and it still works (at least for now). The method is to enter a phrase like "pages 111-124" into the search box in a textbook. The search results show all topics on those pages, and display the page range for each topic. For example:

Subject X, pg 110-114
Subject Y, pg 114-120
Subject Z, pg 120-125

But I can't find this information in the articles I've clipped, and the FAQ no longer backs this up. I agree we should leave this out. Thanks for catching this. I will keep my eyes open for a better reference. In general, I assume that a company web site or FAQ is not a good reference for Wikipedia - true?

Defunct

Looks like this company is defunct. I couldn't find anything talking about the company closing other than an announcement from the people that archived the collection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdlePlayground (talk • contribs) 02:18, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The website referenced boundless.com now references an immigration services company - nothing to do with textbooks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Corvi42 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
