A Guide for First-Timers
As an educator, your time is precious, and you don’t need to spend it lost in cyberspace. To make the most out of your visit to the NEA Professional Library Web site--to find the professional development books and videos best-suited to your needs--please take a few minutes to read the following guide. Or hit the Print button on your browser to print out a copy of these tips for future reference.

Find Books & Videos
Already know what you want? Just use the search engine at the top of the left column. Type in the title of the book or video and click your mouse on “Search by Title.”

Not sure if you know the full, exact title? Try your search anyway--if you have a few key words, the search engine will probably know what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for books by a particular author or materials on a specific educational topic, click on “Advanced Search” right below the search engine box.

Just browsing? Click on any of the topics listed under “Subject” or “Series” in the left column, and you’ll be given a list of pertinent books and videos. Then click on any title in the list to read more and to order.

Read Books Online--Free!
That’s right. Because the NEA Professional Library is dedicated to promoting high-quality teaching and learning, we’ll be placing the complete text of selected books online. You can read these online books from your computer, or download and print out the text--absolutely free. It’s a great way to sample a book before you buy it, but whether you decide to make a purchase or just read the book online is entirely up to you.

Order Books & Videos
Ordering from the NEA Professional Library is easy, fast, and safe. When you’ve found a book or video you like, click on the button marked Add to shopping cart. Clicking this button doesn’t obligate you to purchase anything. You can always change your order or cancel it completely.

About the Member Information Screen
NEA members are entitled to a discount on all NEA Professional Library titles. When you first begin to place an order, a box will pop up on your computer screen asking for membership information. You must supply the name of your NEA local Association and Ohio Education Association in order to receive the discount.

After you fill in your member information, you’ll be taken to a Web page that lists the contents of your shopping cart. You can change the number of items you’re ordering by using the Quantity box. You can set the quantity to 0 (zero) to delete an item from your shopping cart.

If you want to keep browsing or order another title, click on Continue Shopping. If you’re ready to finalize your order, click on Proceed to Checkout and follow the instructions.

Security
Ordering with the NEA Professional Library is absolutely safe! We want your online shopping experience to be worry free, so we utilize SSL (Secure Socket Layers), the most advanced online ordering security system available.
If you’d rather not send your credit card across the Internet, please fill out the Order Form anyway. Then, instead of submitting it online, just hit the Print button on your browser. Voila! You now have a completed order form that you can mail or fax to us at:
NEA Professional Library
P.O. Box 2035
Annapolis Junction, MD 20701-2035
FAX: 301-206-9789


Don’t worry that you’ll accidentally submit your order electronically. Remember, an order is never transmitted over the Internet until you hit the final button on the Order Form, marked Click Here To Send Us Your Order. Anything you type into the Order Form is automatically erased after 20 minutes or whenever you leave the Professional Library Web site.

Privacy Policy
Yes, we ask for a lot of personal information when you place an order. But it's information we need to make sure your order gets to you--or get in touch with you in case an item you've ordered is temporarily out of stock--and to help us continue offering professional development materials that meet your needs.

But that's where it ends. We won't sell or distribute your personal information to anyone else. That's NEA policy.


Navigation Tips
Here are a few tips for navigating around the Professional Library Web site:

  • Every page has a similar format with two main navigation bars. Running horizontally across each page is a navigation bar that contains links to this page, newsletter sign-up, the Help Desk, your shopping cart, and the list of books that are currently available online.
  • In the left-hand column navigation bar, you can search for a title by positioning your cursor in the Search box, typing in your query, and clicking on Search by Title. Or you can click on any of the underlined words under Subject or Series to see a list of the appropriate books and videos. You'll also find links to our top ten bestsellers, new titles, and what's on sale. Clicking on List All Items will give you a display of our entire catalog. At the very bottom of this column is a link that'll return you to the Professional Library Home Page, no matter where you are in the site.
  • To look at the contents of your shopping cart at any time, click on the Shopping Cart button on the top navigation bar or at the bottom of the left navigation column on each page.

If you’re brand-new to surfing the Web, here are some general navigation tips:

  • Underlines represent links to other pages with more information. Position your cursor over an underlined work and click to go to that page.
  • If you go to a page and find out you don't want to be there, you can always hit the "Back" button on your browser, at the top of your screen, to backtrack your way out.
  • Gray boxes are "buttons" that you click on with your mouse to take actions, such as searching, adding an item to your shopping cart, or submitting your order.
  • To fill out the order form, position your mouse's cursor in each of the order blanks. Then, begin typing.
