New Sponsor

[Deana Aurner]

When you set up a new account as a sponsor, is there an email that is sent automatically through the organization that gives the students their log on information or are we, as sponsors supposed to do that? I always send an individual account email, but am wondering if that is the only one they are getting.

Hello,

When a Public K-12 school adds a new student as an organizational member they have the option to create a username and password for the student to access their reading material in a shared Reading List. Public and Private schools can also update the username and password information for any existing organizational members which gives them access to Bookshare's Web Reader (aka as Read Now).

So when I, as the sponsor create their account, will they be sent an email with their sign-in info automatically? Like through their school email accounts? or do I need to manually send a letter telling them their user name and PW I used to create their account? Thank you so much for your help!

Students with a linked Individual account will receive an email but any organizational members that you create the username and password for won't automatically receive anything. You'll need to notify them of that information. There is a PDF and Word document titled Student Login Form located in our Training and Resources section but please click here to access the direct link.
