This opens a box where you type a short title, and then type whatever you had in mind. When you close this box, it will mark the page with a book icon that is easy to see and find later. It can also be moved about the page to get it off text/to the margins. You can also later click on the NotePad icon and it will show you all the pages you have notes on for your quick reference.

21. What to Do When Done if just “Reading Online” If you were just reading it online and never checked it out, make sure you close the book after your use and then close the window. This allows others to then have access to it when you are done, if they log on and need the same book.

22. Close Book icon

23. What to Do when Done if you checked the book out to use/read: Click on the same Close Book icon shown before However, if you had it checked out, this time a message will pop up, directing you to: ▫“Click here to keep this title” OR ▫“Click here to return this title early” Make your choice, and then be sure to close the window. Again, this either keeps the book checked out for your use, blocking others from using it, or returns it to the e-shelves for everyone’s access again.
