New E-Book App
January 23rd, 2012The Bailey Library provides students and faculty access to 90,000 e-books, the majority of which are licensed from Ebrary. These e-books are readable on a web browser, while many are downloadable on most computing devices and e-readers.
You may now download a special Ebrary app free of charge from the App Store to your iPhone or iPad for mobile access also, adding one more convenient access point to the Ebrary e-books. Please note that the app is for iPhone 3GS, 4 or 4S running iOS 4.3 or higher.
Please follow the instructions below to activate your Ebrary e-book app:
Prior to using ebrary’s Mobile App on your iOS device, two things you need to do:
1. Go to your ebrary site (http://site.ebrary.com/lib/washtenaw) from a browser and sign in to your personal ebrary account as usual with WCC NetID and password.
* You’ll need to do this at least once every 90-days to validate use on the mobile app.
* Click “My Settings” link at top-right of ebrary screen
* Under “Link your account to Facebook“, click “Log In“
* On Facebook log-in screen, enter your Facebook credentials, click “Log In“
(Don’t have a Facebook account? Click “Sign up for Facebook” at lower left)
2. Create an Adobe account if you don’t already have one:
If you’ve done full-document downloads on ebrary, you already have one.
To create an Adobe account:
* Go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/membership/index.cfm?nf=1&nl=1&loc=en_us
* Click “Create an account”
* Fill in at least the starred fields…
* Click “OK”
You can then sign in on the Ebrary e-book app using the “Sign in with Facebook” button (lower right hand corner) with your Facebook credentials.
Important note: The Facebook Sign-in feature does not access or post anything on Facebook accounts. It just takes advantage of users’ Facebook authentication.
If you have any questions, please contact the Bailey Library at libs1@wccnet.edu or 973-3431.
