Getting Started with Safari Books Online
Access
At the same time, you will also be sent an email to complete the account setup. The account setup asks you to setup a password, optionally you can provide Major and Graduation year (these fields are optional). If you decide you do not want to complete the account setup, that is fine, it is not required and you can still access the content within the platform.
Select your favorite topics
You can tailor your content recommendations around the topics that interest you. When you first create
your account, you will be prompted to choose your favorite topics. Based on those choices, you’ll receive
recommended content on your homepage. You can update these topics of interest at any time.
Get your queue started
Safari’s queue feature allows you to quickly save a whole book or video (or just sections of a book or video) for later use. You can easily access items in your queue from any page in Safari.
Use advanced search to find what you need
Quickly search by title, author, publisher or isbn. Explore and sort all of Safari by a broad topic, or filter by author, media type, sub-topics and/or publishers.
Check out your personalized recommendations
Personalized recommendations are based on the topics you choose, what you find interesting, and what’s popular with other readers. Over time, Safari will continue to customize your recommendations so you see the content most relevant to you.
Start highlighting and taking notes
Highlight important sections of content and add your own notes to enhance your learning. You can even take notes and share with others by sharing a link to your highlights page.
Share valuable content
Share the content you find valuable with others on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, or you can share the link through email. If your recipients don't have a Safari account, they will see a small snippet of the chapter. If they do have a Safari account, they will be brought directly to the linked chapter.
