2. Download Library
This section allows you to save the eBook file of the titles you have purchased to the
cache of your browser. This makes the books available to use offline and means they
will open nearinstantaneously. When downloading from this section, the book will be
saved in its entirety. Therefore, we would advise you to wait until you have enough time
and a strong Internet connection before using it. Additionally, this will only download
the eBooks on the computer and browser to which you are currently logged on. You will
need to repeat the process on all other computers that need offline access.
Save ALL：
This downloads and saves all the titles you have purchased. Please wait until you have
plenty of time to do this as you should not navigate to other parts of Witherb Connect
while the books are saving. If you do so, the download will be interrupted
Save :
This will save only the eBook you have selected.
Delete：
This will remove the eBook file from your browser’s cache, making it unavailable offline.
3. Offline Mode
Offline Mode allows you to access the titles you have saved in case of emergency
resulting in a loss of Internet access. It can also be accessed directly from the following
URL: https://www.witherbyconnect.com/offline/ , The functions available in Offline Mode
are mostly the same as in the Online Mode, although you won’t be able to print or
create links and the titles will appear in a list rather than grouped by categories
Offline eBook Reader Application
Offline mode is an emergency mode that is meant to be used on board ships when
Internet connection is temporarily not available. It makes sure that publications are
available at all times. To install the application for offline use in Chrome, click on the +
button to the right side of the address bar, pictured below. The exact steps might
depend on the browser you are using – click on Help to see instructions for more
browsers

Please note that it may take around 10 to 20 seconds before the installation button
appears as necessary files are downloaded.

APPs

Certain browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, may not support installation of the application.
In this instance, please switch to a supported browser (e.g. Chrome or Edge) if you are
planning to use the offline capabilities of Witherby Connect. Safari on Mac does not
allow creation of an application shortcut but it works offline from the above URL. Once
clicked, follow the on-screen instructions to install the application. To run the
application, create a shortcut on your desktop for the program, or type ‘Witherby
Connect’ into your search bar if using Windows 10/11. eBooks opened or downloaded
while using WitherbyConnect.com can then be accessed for offline use. Please note that
you must install the application using the same browser that was used to save your
books or they will not be available within the offline application
4. Index
The Index section takes you to the list of all titles available in Witherby Connect.

If “View All” is selected, the Index will show ou the titles included in the first category of
the library – Cargo. If “My eBooks” is selected, only the categories for owned books are
displayed and the first of these is selected. You can navigate to the other sections and
expand them to see different titles
View books
The button at the bottom of the cover tells you whether you have access to this
publication: blue if it is unlocked, grey if it is locked. Please contact your account
manager if any title appears locked when it shouldn’t be, or if you would like to
purchase access. As soon as an errata or supplement is published, the eBook is updated
on the server for everyone to use
