Creating a VitalSource Bookshelf® Account

  1. Click the eText link on your course home page to open the online version.
  2. Enter your email address (the same one you entered on your AU registration form), then create your account by completing the fields on subsequent screen(s). Keep track of your password; you will need it to access your Bookshelf (we suggest that this be different from your AU password).
  3. Check the box agreeing to the terms and conditions and click Create.
