This will send a second email. Open that email and click the blue ‘Claim your account’ text to create a password for Issuu.
8. Once your order has gone through, a confirmation page will appear. Click ‘Read Your Publication’.

Note: Issuu does not have a cart function, therefore you will need to repeat steps 5 – 9 to purchase multiple books in digital view.

1. 1. 1. Go to issuu.com and sign in to your account.
      2. On the top right navigation bar, hover over ‘Read’, then click ‘Purchases’.
      3. Click on the book you’d like to open for digital view.
      4. Scroll through pages by clicking the left and right arrows.
         • Or, click and drag left or right to turn a page.
         • Or, use the sliding bar on the bottom left to quickly jump to another section of the book.
         • Note: The page numbers in the digital view product do not correspond to the page numbers in the physical textbook.
      5. Use the full screen function (bottom right icon) and the zoom in/out sliding bar to set up digital view on your screen for easy use in video conferencing screen sharing or projecting lessons.
         • When zoomed in on a page, click and drag to move around the view of the page.
      6. You are now set up to use your digital view of Confidence and Connections for online classes or projecting on a screen in a classroom setting.
      7. Reach out to resources@intercambio.org with any questions.

Note: The digital files of Confidence and Connections books on Issuu.com are NOT downloadable. Therefore, you will need an internet connection to access digital view, either directly on the Issuu website, or by downloading the free Issuu app. To download the Issuu app, click HERE for Apple products or HERE for Android products.

Note: You can share this digital view product with others who may be interested. Click ‘Share’ at the top right of your screen. Select your method for sharing. This will post/send a link to this specific book. However, the recipient will be required to purchase their own copy of the digital view book for full access. The ‘Share’ function does NOT make it so that others can view the full book without purchasing access for themselves.

Set up your account with multiple addresses in advance:

1. Go to intercambio.org/my-account/, or click ‘My Account’ on the top right of any page on Intercambio’s website.
2. Click ‘Addresses’ from the navigation menu.
3. First, make sure you’ve added a default billing and shipping address to your account. Click the blue ‘Add’ text, or if you need to make changes to a previously entered address, click the blue ‘Edit’ text, to enter your default addresses.
4. Then, to enter secondary shipping addresses, click the orange ‘Add Address’ button.
5. Enter the address, then click ‘Save Address’.
6. Repeat steps 4 – 5 as many times as addresses you need to enter.

Checkout using multiple addresses:

1. After adding all needed items to your cart from intercambio.org/shop, from your cart, click the orange ‘Proceed to Checkout’ button.
2. Click the orange ‘Enter or Choose Addresses’ button.
3. Each individual product in your cart will appear on a separate line, including multiples of the same product (i.e. the number of lines will match the total number of items in your cart, not the number of different products). For each line, select the address from the drop down for that product. To send multiples to one address, each product will need to have the correct address selected on each separate line.
   • If you need to update quantities of products, you may do so from this page. Simply click the orange ‘Delete’ button to reduce the quantity, or edit the number in the quantity box to add. Click ‘Update’. Note that for increasing the quantity, after clicking ‘Update’, the products will be split into separate lines, each with a quantity of 1.
   • The options from the drop down bar will include the addresses you entered into your account in steps 1 – 6. If you didn’t complete those steps in advance, just click the blue ‘Add a new shipping address’ text to enter a new shipping address. If you enter a new address during the Checkout process, it will save the address to your account for future use. Both processes result in saving multiple addresses to your account; the only difference is if you decide to enter those before placing an order or while doing so.
4. Click ‘Update’ to see changes and stay on the same page, or click the orange ‘Save Addresses and Continue’ button to save and return to the Checkout page.
5. Under ‘Your order’, review the products and quantities for each shipping address, making sure it has been entered accurately before placing your order.
   • The first line items under ‘Your order’ reflect the total quantities of each product in your entire order. The gray boxes underneath ‘Shipping Methods’ reflect the quantities being sent to each address.
   • Note that you can select different shipping methods – either Media or Priority Mail – for each address. Click the drop down arrow on the shipping method to change.
   • If you need to make any changes to the addresses or quantities, click the blue ‘Modify address’ text, or scroll back to the top and click the orange ‘Modify/Add Address’ button.
     • Note that in order to change a specific address (if there is a typo, for example), you’ll need to click ‘Add a new shipping address’, then click the orange ‘Edit’ button under the address you’d like to modify. Click ‘Update Address’.
6. Once confirming your order has been entered accurately, enter your payment information, then click the orange ‘Place Order’ button.
   

The Immigrant Guide is offered in English, Spanish, Arabic, Burmese, Karen, and Somali.  Please check the Immigrant Guide page for the most up-to-date languages offered.

Knowing that many immigrants have a basic understanding of English, we have written this guide with the most basic vocabulary possible while still providing important information. We have added pictures to the English and Spanish versions of the guide to illustrate certain topics.
