FAQs

How do I login?

"Login" is located on the upper-right corner of the website. To log in, enter your username or email address and password. If you forget your username/password, please click on the link "Forgot my username or password" to recover them and follow the on-screen instructions, or contact us.

 

How do I purchase and assign user licenses? 

Additional usernames gives you the flexibility to add users within your office to your subscription. Usernames attached to a main account are significantly less expensive than purchasing individual accounts.

Each username has its own password and allows access to content even while other user names are logged in. Each username is personalized with individual bookmarks, recently viewed pages, and viewing preferences.

Additional usernames do not have access to the master account’s information and thus cannot change without permission any of the subscription options or other information in the master account and cannot purchase additional products billed to the master account.

If you have not yet subscribed to a title, you can add additional usernames as part of your purchase process for that title. If you have already purchased a subscription and wish to increase or decrease the number of additional usernames linked to a subscription, please contact NCLC. Also if you wish to purchase more than one copy of the same print treatise, contact NCLC. Each additional printed treatise includes an additional username linked to the master account.

You can assign additional usernames to people in your office by going My Account > Additional Usernames > Manage Usernames.

For more information, please contact us.

To show what has changed, click the “Highlight Updates” checkbox in the upper-right corner of any page in My Treatises. Clicking “Highlight Updates” also activates another unique feature; bracketed numbers at the beginning of each online footnote correspond to the footnote number in the most recent printed edition.
