Educators manage their school’s Organizational Account through their “My Bookshare” page.
Add Sponsors (Teachers)
With Bookshare, educators or teachers are called Sponsors. From the “My Bookshare” page, select the “Sponsors” link to add your colleagues who need to assign books to students on your school’s account. You can have as many sponsors as you wish, and all of them can assign books to students and add students as members.
Add Members (Students)
Any teacher or sponsor can add students, who we refer to as Members. Select the “Members” link on the “My Bookshare” page to add students to the account. When you add members you will be prompted to select a check box noting the qualifying condition that makes them eligible for Bookshare based on US copyright law. This check box serves as the verification that the student is eligible.
Add Individual Membership for students
Sponsors can easily add an Individual Membership to their student’s Organizational account. NOTE: Students on school accounts can only read books that have been assigned to them by a teacher or sponsor. Individual Memberships are also FREE and help students build independence by allowing them to find and access books on their own from the full Bookshare collection, in addition to books assigned by sponsors. This also allow students to retain access to Bookshare when they transition to a different school or graduate. Learn how to add an Individual Membership.
