I'll show you mine, if you show me yours...

Now you, your friends, classmates, and teachers can use Bookshelf to share notes and highlights right on the pages of your textbooks.

That’s right: friends make highlights and margin notes on their copy of the book, and that notation will automatically show up on your copy!

Wouldn’t you like to see what others in your work group, in your class, or even around the world think are the most important points in the book? Use shared notes and highlights to help each other study, ask each other questions, or divide the work for a study group. Teachers, use this powerful feature to focus attention on the most salient portions of the text or to insert self-test or discussion questions.

Best of all, shared information is still completely portable (like your Bookshelf resources always have been). Whenever you return to the Internet, Bookshelf will automatically check to see if your friends have made changes, and will automatically bring you up-to-date.

And, like always with Bookshelf, all page layout options continue to support print, copy-and-paste, advanced searching, and highlighting and notes.
