Ebrary Bookshelf

Ebrary – lost your bookshelf?

Following a software upgrade, all of our users have been assigned new Ebrary identities. To recover your personal bookshelf, you need to get it transferred from your old identity to the new one.

Transferring your Ebrary bookshelf to your new Ebrary identity.

To ask Ebrary to make the transfer, you need to know both your old and your new identity.

  • Log in to Ebrary
  • Note your new Ebrary ID, a long character string at the top of the page:
