may need to double-click (rather than single-click)

14-digit library ID number. The library ID numbers for DSU students,
faculty, and staff all begin with the numbers
21578.... (for example:
21578000000000). You can find this number on the front
of your DSU ID card. Distance students,
who do not have ID cards, will receive this

- SPECIAL NOTE about
InformationSECURITYnetBASE: When
a book is selected to be read in InfoSecurityNetBase, it opens a
short document in pdf format that includes the Table of Contents.
To get into the full content of the book,
you must be
able to link to chapters or sections from the Table of Contents.
-

it is key requirement that you open the pdf in the browser
(rather than downloading it) so that the links in the Table of
Contents will work. When
you browse and find a book you wish to
read, select it and click “Read It Online.”
Look for the Table of Contents in the document and make
sure the contents are live links. If not, reconfigure your
setup so that the document will open in the browser and the
Table of Contents does have clickable
links.

in a Preview mode that does not display linkable links,
download Adobe Reader and change the setup to open pdf’s
in Adobe Reader.

2. Use Finder
to find one document that you have previously downloaded in pdf
format
3. Click once
on the file to select it. Then use the File menu and select Get
Info
4. In the Get
Info window, change "Open with" to Adobe Reader.
[You may click on "Change All"
if you want all pdf's to open this way]
5. Now, when
you open the book in
InfoSecurityNetBase, it will open in Adobe Reader.
