So you’ve attended an information session, learned how The Bookmark works, and decided it’s the right tool for your institution. You’re ready to spend less time tracking down professional licensure requirements, reduce the stress and cost of maintaining your own research, and feel more confident about your institution’s compliance efforts.
So, what happens next?
We’ve designed the process of becoming a member of The Bookmark to be straightforward. Once your membership begins, we provide several ways to help your team get comfortable with the platform and take advantage of everything included.
From “We’re Ready” to Access
Once you’ve decided to join, there are four simple steps:
Step 1: Decide – Choose the membership level that best fits your institution and contact us to let us know you’re ready to move forward. The Bookmark offers several membership options based on the number of users and the level of support and member benefits your institution needs.
Step 2: Confirm – Once we receive the go-ahead, we’ll send you a User Agreement outlining your membership level and number of users, along with an invoice.
Step 3: Activate – After we receive your signed agreement and payment, we’ll collect the information we need for your users and set up their accounts.
Step 4: Access – On your membership start date, each user will receive an email with credentials and instructions. From there, your team can log in and begin using The Bookmark right away.
Get Acquainted with The Bookmark
Having access to the research platform is only the beginning. We want your team to feel comfortable using The Bookmark and know how to get the most value from it.
New members are encouraged to attend The Bookmark Basics & New Features, offered on the first Wednesday of each month at 12 p.m. CT. This session is a great introduction for new users and an ongoing opportunity to learn about new features and resources. Register here.
Have several people who need to get up to speed at once? Contact us about scheduling an onboarding session for your team.
And if you run into a technical question, join our Bookmark Tech Support Session, held on the first Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. CT. These sessions provide live help with features, troubleshooting, and account questions. Register here.
More than a Research Platform
The Bookmark is designed to save your institution time, money, and stress by making professional licensure research easier to manage. But your membership also connects you with HELP’s broader licensure expertise and resources.
Depending on your membership level, that can include member-only webinars, templates, tools, and other resources designed to help your institution navigate professional licensure compliance. The membership structure ranges from Basic access to Enterprise options for larger teams, with expanded resources and support available at higher levels.
Once you become a member, make a habit of checking the upcoming office hours and webinars and reviewing the Licensure Lowdown to see what’s new. We are also launching a new Member Resource Hub in September. We will continue to add resources based on the questions, challenges, and regulatory issues we see institutions navigating every day.
Our goal is to give your institution a more manageable, cost-effective way to stay current on licensure requirements, along with the resources and expert support you need to maintain compliance with confidence.
