How to save your MyiLibrary ebook notes before the migration to Ebook Central in April 2018



How to preserve your MyiLibrary notes

ProQuest, the new owner of MyiLibrary is about to migrate the ebooks to their Ebook Central platform, but if you used the bookmarking and highlighting features on MyiLibrary, you will lose those indications in your ebooks after the upgrade. However, your notes can be preserved in books you’ve read online (not in books you’ve downloaded).

Here’s how to preserve notes before your library upgrades to Ebook Central
(instructions from ProQuest) available at:

Step 1: Log in to MyiLibrary.

Step 2: Select “My Account” at the top of the home page, then “Notes” from the drop-down menu. You will see the list of books that have annotated notes.




Step 3: Select the titles from which you want to preserve your notes.

Step 4: Choose to either print your notes or email them to yourself. If you choose to email your notes, you will receive an HTML-based message from notes@ingramdigital.com that includes the book titles, the page numbers associated with your notes, and the note titles. Also included will be a link to each note page in MyiLibrary, although these links will not be valid once the Ebook Central upgrade is complete.
