When you are reading a library ebook, you will usually see options to save books to a folder or bookshelf...very useful if you'd like to be able to easily return to a book to read later.
Below are bookshelf instructions for two of our most popular book vendors, ProQuest Ebook Central and EBSCO. If you are reading a book and cannot find the option to 'sign in' to save a book, visit the vendor tutorials or contact the librarians for help.
