Getting Started

Here are the steps to request a site on which Wheaton faculty and staff can create a new book or clone an existing open book, and access the editing dashboard:

1. Fill out this form.
2. After completing the form go to “Sign In” from the header navigation menu [in the upper right] on the openpress.wheatoncollege.edu website.
3. Sign in using your Wheaton College credentials. 
4. You will receive a DUO push. 
5. You can now access your OpenPress dashboard. You will not have access to book editing until the OpenPress administrators have reviewed your form and registered your book site. Administrators will notify you to log in to the OpenPress dashboard and accept the invitation to the book/site. Please allow 24-48 hours for administrators to process your request and notify you.

For information about how to navigate the OpenPress dashboard and to begin editing, adapting/revising/remixing, or creating your book, please view the Wheaton College OpenPress Guide.

We recommend participating in an OER or OpenPress focused informational workshop, or meeting with a member of the Wallace Library Research & Instruction team by contacting librarians_research@wheatoncollege.edu for more information.
