The newest version of Safari Books Online is here, and it is packed with new features that make it easier than ever to access, read and organize the information you need.
Check out the new Safari Books Online. Some features may not be available at some subscription levels.
Favorites Folders
Organize your Favorites! Create Folders for the titles you consult frequently. These custom lists will save you time and allow you to create your own custom library within Safari Books Online.
- Organize your favorite books and videos into Folders that you create and name.
- Handpick books to go into a Folder(s) or organize content based on a saved query ("Smart Folders").
- Drag and drop titles into Folders.
Collaboration
Shared folders, search results, and notes allow workgroup users to
network with other users about topics of interest, recommend content and discover additional titles favored by experts in the field. In addition, the “review this book” feature allows subscribers to comment on a book or write a complete review.
Notes and Highlighting
Hold that thought! Use Safari Books Online's Notes feature to comment on the electronic text.
- Attach a Note to a book or a page.
- Highlight text and attach a Note to that text.
- Create Notes in a movable layer right over the page you are reading.
- Organize, search and filter your Notes by adding Tags.
- Print your Notes and Highlights in a custom summary.
Bookmarks
Find your place quickly when you use Bookmarks. One click on your Bookmark opens the book just where you left off.
- Dog-ear the page by clicking the upper right corner of the page or by clicking the Bookmark icon in the tool bar.
- Jump to any page with a Bookmark quickly by clicking the Bookmark record in the left navigation panel beside the book page. You can also click the Bookmark tab in My Safari or on the title's "cover page."
Tags
Categorize your Notes and organize your content with searchable Tags.
- Assign Tags to a whole book, to specific pages, or to your Notes.
- Search for content—books, specific pages, and Notes—you have tagged.
- Select from your frequently used Tags when creating a new
Note or Tag.
Printable, Custom Summary
Create a custom document (auto-summary) from your Notes and highlighted text. Auto-summaries can be created in several ways.
- Select tagged Notes and Highlights from a combination of books across the library.
- Select content and Notes in an individual book.
- Print just text you have highlighted.
