Using netLibrary e-books

Please read before you use netLibrary e-books To access the netLibrary "Library Collection" from OFF CAMPUS, you MUST FIRST create a netLibrary account on an ON-CAMPUS computer. Follow the instructions below. You can "preview" netLibrary books ON CAMPUS without creating a netLibrary account. However, if you want to "check out" an e-book you must create a netLibrary account on an ON-CAMPUS computer. Follow the instructions below. Click here to go to netLibrary Accessing "Library Collection" e-books netLibrary offers two versions of its Web site: a consumer version, and a library version. The distinction is important, especially for off-campus users. If you log in to netLibrary from any computer on campus, you will see the library version by default. The library version lets you access the statewide "Library Collection" of nearly 2,000 electronic books in addition to netLibrary's collection of over 3,000 free books. You can "preview" any e-books on campus without creating a netLibrary account. However, if you want to "check out" an e-book you will need to create a netLibrary account (see below). If you log in to netLibrary from off-campus, you will see the consumer version by default. You will not have access to the "Library Collection" until you create a netLibrary account from an ON-CAMPUS computer. The account MUST be created on a computer on the Benedictine campus. Otherwise, when you log in from off-campus, the web site will not recognize your account as being affiliated with Benedictine and will not grant you access to the "Library Collection." To create your netLibrary "Library" account: Log in to any PC on the Benedictine campus. Go to http://legacy.netlibrary.com/TitleSelect/. Click on create a free account or the red Create Account button. Follow the instructions provided. After you've created your netLibrary account you can log in to netLibrary from ANY computer (on-campus or off-campus) and access all "Library Collection" e-books. Neither the Library nor Benedictine University has access to any netLibrary User Name, password, or account information. If you forget your netLibrary password, accidentally create an account for the "consumer" site instead of the "library" site, or have any other questions about your netLibrary account, please contact netLibrary's Customer Service Department.
