What is a book?

So what is a book?  A book is an object that lives in a shelf.  The book is made up of pages and can be organised by chapters if you want it to be.  It's great for preparing and sharing documention, how-to's, policies, processes and procedures.   The Library is more friendly than a shared drive and less prone to people accidentally moving, editing or deleting your document.   Once created, a book will live in a BookShelf and have a complete audit trail of updates.

Editing a book is just like using a simple word processor. You can type text, format it, add links and even paste in images.   Try it!

What can't Library do?
Our library is not a shared folder. You can't store files or documents in it like a shared drive, just write and read books.
There are three levels of access:

- Public, which means anyone can read a book if it is set to public access.
- Viewer, which means someone *who is logged in using their steiner account* can read a book
- Editor, which means someone *who is logged in using their steiner account* can create, edit and delete a bookshelf or book.
