How to log reading from the reader view

Once logged in online, readers can log their reading from any page by following these steps:

1. Log in to the reader view of your library site.
2. Click the “Log Reading” or “Log Reading and Activities” button in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
3. Select the accurate reader(s).
4. Then the desired log type (books, minutes, pages, or days).
   • If readers are enrolled in a current challenge, they will only see the log types used in that challenge. If they are not enrolled in an active challenge, they will see all active log types on your site. If they are enrolled in a reading list challenge, they will see an option to log for that challenge’s titles.
   • If the minute and book log types were combined on the admin view, readers will see a “Log Reading” option.
5. Select the date for the reading session, keeping in mind that some sites may restrict back-dated logging so that readers can only log for dates up to 90 days in the past.
6. Then, enter any additional information, like title, author, and if they’d like to leave a book review.
   1. Note that some sites may have certain required logging fields, like title, and may allow or disallow logging multiple titles or completions at one time based on their site and challenge preferences.
7. Click “Log.”

The reading session will be added to their log and to any applicable challenge log. If warranted, the reader may earn badges, tickets, or rewards, which will pop up after logging.

Readers can also log their reading from within a specific challenge page by following these steps:

1. When viewing a challenge, click over to the “Badges” tab.
2. Click any unearned logging badge and then click “Log Next Book/Minute/Page/Day.”
3. Follow steps 2 - 7 above.
