How do I print or copy from an eBook?
You may print or copy one page at a time by using your web browser's Print or Copy functions. Printing or copying an entire eBook violates copyright law.
How do I create an account in netLibrary and Safari?
You may have noticed that when you view a netLibrary eBook, you are given the option to create a free account. This allows you to bookmark a list of favorite eBooks from the netLibrary database. To create an account, click on "Create a Free Account" at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Fill out the required information and click submit. You will then be able to use the login and password you just created.
There is no additional account creation available in Safari. By accessing a Safari book (either on campus or via your portal login when off-campus), you automatically have access to all the features offered by Safari.
What else can I do with NetLibrary and Safari?
There are a variety of online demos available describing all of the features of netLibrary.
Safari does not offer as many complex features, but they do have a Frequently Asked Questions page if you have any questions.
