MyScribe Handbook

introduction

Welcome to the MyScribe Reader FAQ for DeVry University. This document is

designed to give you a step-by-step instruction for using the MyScribe Reader to

access your course text for DeVry University. The MyScribe Reader offers functions

that will enable you to become more engaged with the content than with any

other reader.

The MyScribe Reader allows you to download, organize, and read your textbooks.

You can highlight passages in your text and make notes and annotations in the

margin for future reference and to assist you when studying for an exam. What’s

more, the SharedNotes feature allows you to share your notes with other students

in your class, and read SharedNotes that other students have made available.

Since all of your notes are stored online, you can make notes in your textbook at

one computer and read them on another.

MyScribe allows you to have your textbooks on up to three computers, so you

can download your text on your desktop at home and on your laptop. You can

also copy MyScribe and your books to a USB drive to take with you so you can

read your books in the library or in the computer lab.

highlighters and label them for different purposes. MyScribe comes with three
