The "My Notebook" button in the top toolbar is your notebook for creating, storing, and organizing:

• class notes
• study sheets
• papers
• outlines
• presentations
• research papers
  

First click on the "My Notebook" button in the top horizontal gray toolbar of College-Cram.com. This will take you to your notebook with a listing of all your entries. If you have not used the notebook yet it will display the following message -

You haven't created any entries in your notebook yet!

This is your Notebook, so use it the way you want -- stuff it with notes, videos, files, or make class presentations. Share them to show everyone how smart you are, keep them private, or share them only with your friends. 

To create a new entry, click on the "New" link in the Notebook Page tool bar. You can then give your new notebook entry a title, short description, and tags (keywords).

Lastly, you need set set the entry's "access restrictions":

• Public is for everyone to see, whether logged in or not (recommended);
  
• Private is for your eyes only;
  
• Logged in users means you have to be logged in to see it, it doesn't show up otherwise;
  
• Community restricts your entry to members of the community you select. Folks who aren't logged in, or logged in but not members of that community, will not be able to see it.

After filling out the title, description, tags, and choosing an access restriction then click save.

Now you can start building your notebook entry. At the bottom of the page you can choose from text, blogposts, and or files. This is the building block for the notebook. Each new section has a heading and place for content and all sections can be moved up or down in the presentation order, edited, and deleted. Be creative and have fun organizing notes, preparing study sheets, writing papers, gathering research, and building a bank of knowledge.

To assign a notebook entry to a community you will need to be a member. To join a community follow these instructions.

Assigning an entry to a community is done through the "Access restrictions:" menu below the Keywords input box. When you first create an entry you can assign it to a community by choosing from the drop down menu. You can always change the access restrictions of an entry by clicking on the "Edit" link of a notebook entry and changing the "Access restrictions:" underneath the "Keywords" input box. Once you have changed the restrictions then click the "Save" button.

(Technically, you didn't really "assign" your entry to a community. Rather, you restricted access to your entry -- for view or search -- to only members of the community. No one else will be able to find your entry unless they join the community too.)

As always, you can edit your entry and change the access restriction back to "Public" to allow everyone to see it.
