The bookshelf gives you a place directly in Otus to view resources that your teachers have shared with you. You also can save your own resources to your own bookshelf so you can have quick and easy access to them. Here's everything you can do with your bookshelf:

  • View resources that your teacher shares with you

  • Add your own resources - study guides, online study resources, helpful documents

  • Organize your resources into folders

  • Share your resources with your teachers


View Shared Resources

Shared with me is where you will find all of the resources that have been shared to you. You can view the full list of shared resources or you can view your resources by class.

1️⃣ Open the bookshelf. Make sure you are on the Shared With Me tab.

2️⃣ Select the class from the All Resources dropdown.

3️⃣ Click on a resource to see what it is.

4️⃣ Click on the direct link to the resource to visit the website or download the file (image, PDF, document) to your device.

1️⃣ Choose the My Bookshelf tab. Then click on the + button and click Resource.

2️⃣ Click on the + button and click Resource.
