OK, so you've created a library. Now let's look at managing it successfully.

Note you'll only be able to change the settings for libraries you created yourself, or have been made a co-teacher of. To access the library settings, click on the Settings cog in the right of the toolbar (next to the New Book button).

These are your options:

  • Rename the library (just type over the library name)

  • Toggle whether or not users can access Image Search within the library

  • Toggle whether students can edit their own books (turn off if you want your library to be read-only)

  • Limit how many books each student can make in the library

  • Toggle whether or not students read each other's books

  • Toggle whether or not students can allow collaboration on their books

  • Toggle whether or not students can publish their own books online

  • Toggle whether or not students can add comments to each other's books

  • Toggle whether or not students can use spell check in the text editor

  • Toggle whether or not students can translate and select which items - text, audio transcripts, video captions, or the entire book

  • Toggle whether or not students can move their own books to their My Portfolio library (domain customers only)

  • Archive the library - you can archive the library and make it inaccessible to anyone else but you. Read more about archiving your library.

  • Publish the library - click this button to go through the steps to sharing the library online.

Managing users in a library

You can see all the users in a library by toggling to the users view at the top of the screen. You can see the latest books a user has made and click on a book's cover to edit it. You can also click on the row for a user to see all the books they have made.

If you are the library owner, you can remove users from your library by clicking Actions > Remove user.
If the user is a teacher, you'll also have the option to promote them to co-teacher.
