How to Create A NetLibrary Account

NetLibrary offers the most comprehensive collection of eBooks and eContent available online. You can access a wide range of research, reference and reading materials from any location.

Accessing NetLibrary

There are three ways to access NetLibrary:

1. From the Sturgis Library’s online catalog while in the library.
2. By logging in to http://www.netlibrary.com as a remote user.
3. From an in-library computer through another participating institution.

Tip: You don’t need a NetLibrary user account to search for or view eContent when on-campus, but to log in as a remote user you will need to establish a NetLibrary account.

Creating a NetLibrary account

If you wish to access eContent from outside the Sturgis library, create bookmarks, or save notes, you will need to create a NetLibrary user account from within your library or organization.

1. Ask your librarian or the eContent contact in your organization how to access the Web page with the account creation function. In most cases, you can enter http://www.netlibrary.com from a Kennesaw State University computer and use the Create a Free Account link.
2. Enter your identifying information (user name, password, email address).
3. Select the Submit button.

Logging in as a remote user

Each time you wish to access the NetLibrary Web site from a remote location, you will be prompted to login.

1. Go to http://www.netlibrary.com and enter your user name and password in the login box.
2. Click the red Log in button.
3. You now have access to personalization features, checkout capabilities and all eContent available in the Sturgis Library’s collection.
