Q: Do I need an app to view my books?
A: Not anymore! This used to be the case, but we recently launched a web-based reader so you can read it in your preferred browser. Just go to your bookshelf once you've logged in and you can read your books there.
Q: I'd like to change my password, how can I do this?
A: You can go to http://musiciansinstitutebookstore.com and log in with your current credentials. Select the 3 lines in the top right corner and go to "Account." There should be a place to update your password.
Q: I got a new device but I already have the app on 3 devices. What can I do?
A: You can also change this on the website, going into account, and viewing devices. There, you can delete your old device. When you log on the bookstore on the new device, it should automatically save it.
Q: I am registered but can't see my books. Why is that?
A: Books are added into accounts manually and as such, can take up to 72 hours to load into your account. We appreciate your patience. If you need materials immediately for a class, we recommend asking a friend or instructor for assistance.
Q: I can't log into the bookstore. Help?
A: This can be for several reasons. You may not have an account because you don't have books in the bookstore based on the classes you are registered for. You may have changed your password and forgotten what it was. If that's the case, you'll need to reset the password to gain access to your books again. Remember that the default login is different from your other MI logins!
If you are taking a class with a textbook in the bookstore, please log in with these instructions:
1. Make sure you are registered.
2. Wait for an email from the Librarian stating your books have been loaded into your account (usually 48-72 hours after registering).
3. Make sure you are logged onto the WiFi.
4. You can read books on the website or you can download the app onto your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. You can have the app on up to 3 devices. For reading on a browser, we recommend using Chrome or Firefox.
5. Login with your credentials. These are the default, but if you've reset your password, it will not be this format:
6. To find your books:
1. Log out of your account
2. Fully exit out of the app
3. After a few seconds, re-open the app and log in
1. Log out and completely exit out of the application.
