Books24x7: How to Connect

Access to Books24x7 is restricted to current Queen's students, faculty and staff.

Note: you will be prompted to enter your NetID, regardless of whether you are located on campus or not.

Books24x7 Personal Folders and Bookmarks:

In June 2010, the authentication method for Books24x7 has changed: 

  • Before June 2010: In order to access Books24x7, you had to register for a personal Books24x7 account
  • After June 2010: You can access Books24x7 directly using your Queen's NetID

Long-time Books24x7 Users:

If you used Books24x7's various personalization features (personal folders, bookmarks) before June 2010, your old personal folders and bookmarks will not be immediately available via a NetID login.  But your folders are not lost forever!  Please perform the process below to restore your personal folders and bookmarks.

How to Restore Old Books24x7 Personal Folders and Bookmarks:

  1. Login to Books24x7 using your NetID
  2. Click the "Settings" tab
  3. Under "User Information", fill in your email address.  Note: this must match the email address used for your old Books24x7 personal account.  This step connects your old account to the new Books24x7 NetID login.
  4. Wait 1 hour.  Your old personal folders and bookmarks should now be available in Books24x7 via NetID login.

Please complete this process before September 2010.
