When you open the eTextbook item on your Ultra view course, you will be redirected to the Launch Bookshelf Link page and then you will be asked to Log in with your ACG credentials (@acg.edu). After that you will be able to view all the books you want for your students and add them to your Favorites list.

To Register follow the instructions below:

• Click Create a VitalSource account.
  
• On the next page, you have to fill in your personal information. Add your @acg.edu email as an email and NOT any other email.

  You can also select the box above, but it is optional.
  
• Click “Create” to complete the registration.
• You are now logged in to your VitalSource Bookshelf user account.
