Tech Tips

To help you keep your NetLibrary investment visible, we've collected a few technical tips for effective use. These are relatively simple ways to increase access to your eContent at no additional cost.

• Authentication Options
  Authentication provides your users with secure access to your NetLibrary collection. Find out what the different methods of authentication are and discover which ones make sense for your library.
• Cross-linking to NetLibrary eContent
  By constructing URLs containing NetLibrary product IDs, you can provide authenticated users with a direct link to NetLibrary eContent from any Web page.
• Turn on NetLibrary-FirstSearch linking
  Because the NetLibrary platform is fully integrated with WorldCat, you can provide direct links to NetLibrary eContent in WorldCat through FirstSearch.

  Administer and manage your library's NetLibrary account. Learn how to manage user accounts, view current authentication information on file for your library and run real-time usage reports for all your NetLibrary eContent.
