 Hi, folks. My name is Caitlin Maxwell. I work in the library as the digital and electronic collections librarian And I'm just going to give a brief video on how to set up your press books account through open Washington So the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges has a subscription to press books that ends November 20 But the good news is is that you can still access your account even when the subscription is over with So it's a good idea to just go ahead and set up an account in press books. You can create Bookshelves you can adapt books and then you should still have access to them after your subscription ends So let's go ahead and talk about how to get to the open Washington press books site So the easiest way to get there is to just Google open Washington. So open wa open WA press books and Then it should just be the first link here. It says open Washington press books. That should be it and The URL is open wa or open wa dot press books dot pub or puby So that's the URL that you need to get to the open Washington SBCTC account and then once you're here, there's a couple of options You can sign up for your account, which we'll do in just a moment You can look at the press books user guide if you want to get more of an orientation You can also search their directory. They have a huge amount of books available on their directory And I have another video on how you can adapt a book very quickly in like a minute or two From their directory, but for now, let's just focus on signing up. So I'm going to click on sign up And it looks like I've already signed in so I'm going to sign out And then I'm going to go to sign up again and we should see a screen like this So you can select a username So I'll you know, for example, I can just put in my first initial my last name Whatever is comfortable for you for your username and then most importantly put your shoreline edu account So use your work email So for example, there's my work email at shoreline edu And then you can select a password I'll just go ahead and reuse the password I have for this account And then there's the option to register your book now or register your book later I usually just say register your book later and then you don't have to worry about it for now And then click next And this is already this username is already used But if you have when you set up an account It'll probably give you a screen that says that you need to go to your email to activate your account So you'll you should get an email from press books With a link to activate your account once you sign up for an account So and be sure to click on that link To activate your account within two days or else you'll have to set up your account again So that's basically how you sign up for a press books account And just to give you an idea of what it looks like once you get once you actually activate your account I'm going to go ahead and use the library's administrative account So my username is shoreline cc for the administrative account I'm going to log in and just briefly show you what you should see once you have your account So from here you can create a book you can adapt a book from their directory You can go in and add people to your press books all sorts of fun things Which I will cover in other videos. Okay, that should be about it. Thank you very much
