Bookshelf by VitalSource: Social Login
Bookshelf is making it easier for you to register and login by introducing social login. Social login simplifies the account creation process by utilizing your existing Google and Apple accounts, reducing the number of passwords you need to remember.
How does it work?
When you land on the Bookshelf login page, you will be given the option to continue with Google or Apple.
After selecting a social login option, select the account you’d like to login with.
Once you’re authenticated, a few additional questions may appear.
The first question will ask your role: Student, Instructor or Other.
If you select either Student or Instructor, you will be asked to provide some additional details regarding your institution.
Where else can I log in with my Social Login?
You can log in to any of our services that use your VitalSource account for authentication including the below services if you are subscribed to them:
- VitalSource Bookshelf apps (on your computer and mobile devices)
- The VitalSource Store
- Acrobatiq by VitalSource
