How do I create an Ebook Central account?
Answer
What is an Ebook Central Account?
Your Ebook Central account is a personal account that you can create within the Ebook Central. It lets you annotate any books in the databases, including virtual notes, highlighting, and bookmarking pages, all of which saves the book to a virtual "bookshelf." The account will also allow you to download entire books for up to 21 days, or to download portions of some books permanently as PDFs.
Do I need to create an Ebook Central account?
No. An Ebook Central account has been automatically created for you in the database and is linked directly to you database login. After logging in to Ebook Central, you will notice that it will already say "Sign Out" in the top, right-hand corner of the screen. This means that you are also logged in to your personal Ebook Central account. If it says "Sign In" instead, clicking on the "Sign In" or the "Bookshelf" links at the top of the screen should automatically sign you in.
Once signed in, you will be able to highlight segments of works, add virtual post-it notes, and bookmark books in the collection, all of which will be saved to your bookshelf. You will also be able to download books for up to 21 days, or portions of some books as PDFs permanently by clicking on the download buttons and following the instructions.
