School eBook Library
Today we are going to learn how students, teachers and librarians can access eBooks, from the School eBook Library for viewing on a personal computer. To get started, you will need A computer or laptop An internet connection or data service And an eLibrary card for the School eBook Library During this tutorial I will be using the Chrome browser, but these steps will work for all major browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Let’s begin: If your school gave you a direct link to the library, please skip this part of the tutorial, otherwise open a browser and type schoollibrary.org into your search bar. Now select Sign In. From here you can enter an offsite access code provided to you by your school or enter your username and password and click “Sign In” After you log in, the homepage of the School eBook Library will load. Your homepage may look different than this one but everything in our tutorial will work the same way. Before we talk about downloading eBooks, let’s take a moment to investigate some of the exciting discovery tools for students on the homepage. First, our eBook Finder. This is a great tool for finding interesting resources quickly. Simply type in a search term and click search. We also have a collection of video tutorials, like this one, taking you step by step through many of the fun and useful features of our library. In addition you will find a variety of collections hand curated for students of all ages such as math and history lessons, audio books, children’s literature, graphic novels and sheet music. Now let’s get started: If you’d like to browse for a book, select the books tab from the main menu. This will take you to the Academic Research Collections page. Select anyone of our collections to continue browsing for a book. On the other hand, if you know what you are looking for, you can search for it using the “eBook finder tool.” Today we will search for one of my personal favorites, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by Frank Bau
