Set Up and Manage Your World Book Online Account

Overview

This one is for admins managing the World Book Online account through the separate Administrator Tool. If a step below doesn't quite match what you see on screen, confirm with World Book Customer Service, some of their documentation is older.

Steps

1. Sign in to the Administrator Tool at a separate address from the student and teacher site (worldbookonline.com/admin), using the login World Book Customer Service set up for your account.
2. Manage Account tab: set or change the account wide ID and password used at the public login page.
3. Manage IP Addresses tab: view or edit the IP ranges tied to your account. This tab only appears if your account uses IP based login.
4. Set up Home Access for staff and students: choose a Downloadable Icon (a desktop shortcut with saved login) or a Referring URL placed on a secured internal page. Referring URL needs a Gold or Platinum subscription and setup through Customer Service.
5. Customize the login page: add Greeting Text, and request a regional Explore Resource Guide tab through Customer Service.
6. Usage Reports and password changes are also available in the Admin Tool.
7. For anything that needs their setup, like changing your authentication method, contact World Book Customer Service at help@worldbook.com or 888-873-4900.

Troubleshooting

• Admin Tool login not working? It's a separate login from the student and teacher site. Contact World Book Customer Service to confirm your admin credentials.
• Need Home Access set up for staff working remotely? Downloadable Icon is the simplest option and doesn't require Gold or Platinum.
