How do I assign books to members so they can read them on their own?
Sponsors assign books to Organizational Members using the Assign & Read feature and/or Reading List so they can read books with Bookshare Web Reader or their favorite reading tool. Please note that Organizational Members can only read books assigned to them by Sponsors.
