Read Your Digital Textbooks Offline with Bookshelf® Apps!
Today’s students are busier than ever. Make the most of your valuable study time by studying anytime, anywhere, with our offline Bookshelf apps. Available for most popular devices, including iOS, Android, Fire, Chromebook, Mac and PCs, each app is uniquely tailored to provide you with an optimal learning experience.
Don’t have a username and password?
Many users launch Bookshelf via a link in Canvas, Blackboard, or other Learning Management System (LMS) without creating a Bookshelf username and password. If you access Bookshelf in this manner you can still utilize our offline Bookshelf apps.
To get started, sign-in to your LMS on the laptop, phone or tablet that you want to use and launch Bookshelf Online.
From your PC, Mac or Chromebook Device
Once you have launched Bookshelf Online, click on the Download the Bookshelf App card.
The Download Apps screen will be displayed. To download the iOS or Android app, use your camera to scan the QR code. You will be redirected to the appropriate store to download the app and it will automatically SSO into the app. To download the Mac, Windows, or Chromebook apps, click the icon for your desired operating system to download and launch the app.
Downloading From your phone or tablet
Download and launch the Bookshelf app from the app store for your device. From the sign in screen on your mobile device, you will have the option to sign in with your email and password or scan a QR code. To sign in with a QR Code, Tap the Scan QR Code button. If you are unsure where to find the QR code, Tap Find QR Code. Once you scan your QR code, you will automatically SSO into the native app.
Tap Launch App to redirect to the app. You will be prompted to download the app if you haven't already done so.
Tap Continue to Mobile Site to continue using your mobile browser.
If you choose to navigate to Bookshelf Online using mobile browser, you will also receive a prompt when launching the reader asking if you wish to read using our native application.
I’ve launched the app… now what?
Once you launch the native app you are logged in and won’t need to login again (unless you actively sign out of the application). From here you can download books for offline reading. As you read and make notes and highlights, all of your work will automatically sync across all of your devices.
