Chapters
BookProject chapters allow people to create a private area for their group within
the BookProject website. Within a chapter, people can read each other's reviews
of books they have read, and chapter administrators can post messages to the group.
Any group of people with an interest in peace, social wealth, or the environment
is welcome to create a BookProject chapter. A chapter can be used by a reading group,
for example, or as a tool for an organization or community group to circulate books
and DVDs. Independent merchants, such as bookstores and coffee shops, are also welcome
to create chapters (for reading groups and other non-commercial purposes).
The website presents a central book list for each chapter, with links to members'
comments about each title. Chapter administrators can choose whether to present
an open chapter book list, where all titles read or deployed by chapter members
are displayed, or a managed list, where only selected titles are displayed.
Chapter administrators can communicate with chapter members by posting announcements
that the members see when they login to BookProject, and by emailing a chapter newsletter.
(Chapter administrators do not have access to members' email addresses, and chapter
members can choose whether or not to receive email from a chapter. See our
privacy policy.)
Chapters are private: members join chapters by invitation only. For small chapters,
administrators can create individual invitations for the people they would like
to have join the chapter. For larger chapters, administrators can create a chapter
"passcode" that allows people to join the chapter. The passcode can be
published or posted where the intended audience can see it.
BookProject members are free to create and join any number of chapters.
To create or join a chapter, you must be a BookProject member. If you are already
a member, please
login
and return to this page to work with chapters. If you are not a BookProject member,
we invite you to
become a member.
(Becoming a member is free, and requires only an email address and a nickname.)
