For schools licensed to use A-Z Bookshelf, teachers can assign an A-Z Bookshelf to students, and students can see the A-Z Bookshelf in myON and select books to read.
Note that A-Z Bookshelves are only available for schools licensed to use them; other users will not see the options described below.
How Faculty Assign an A-Z Bookshelf to Their Students
- Select Classroom, then Students.
- Check the names of the students who need an A-Z Bookshelf assigned.
- Select the drop-down list above the table and select Assign A-Z Bookshelf.
- Select the second drop-down list and choose the A-Z Bookshelf that you want to assign to the checked students.
- A message will ask if you want to change the A-Z Bookshelf for the students. Select Yes.
- The A-Z Bookshelf you've selected for each student will be listed in the A-Z Bookshelf column.
How Students Use the A-Z Bookshelf
Once the teacher has assigned an A-Z Bookshelf to a student, the student can find books using the A-Z Bookshelf. To start, the student selects Library, then A-Z Bookshelf.
The student will see the categories in the A-Z Bookshelf. Fiction categories are blue, and nonfiction are red. The student selects a category to see a list of books. (If the teacher hasn't assigned an A-Z Bookshelf, the page will tell the student that.)
The student can select a book and read it, record it, view information, or add it to their favorites just as they would elsewhere in myON. They can also choose to see a list view instead of the default grid view as they can on other Library pages.
How Faculty See an A-Z Bookshelf
Faculty can also select Library, then A-Z Bookshelf; however, they will not see books until they assign an A-Z Bookshelf to themselves. To do this, Faculty select their name in the top right corner of any page and select User Info. Then, on the User Information page, the teacher selects an A-Z Bookshelf from the Assign A-Z Bookshelf drop-down list. The teacher selects Save to save the change.
