      your Bookshelf. You can install new works to your Bookshelf, and
      update or remove existing works from your Bookshelf. Access it by
      clicking 
      <span class="guimenu">Settings</span> &#8594; <span class="guimenuitem">Bookshelf Manager</span> in the main menu.</p><div class="tip" title="Tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>If this is the first time you are starting <span class="application">BibleTime</span>,

        the works on the hard disk, but use them directly from the CD,
        then you can add the path to the CD as one of your bookshelf
        paths. When you start <span class="application">BibleTime</span>, it will show all works
        on the CD if it is present.</p></div></div><div class="sect2" title="Install/update work(s)"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-bookshelfmanager-installupdate"></a>Install/update work(s)</h3></div></div></div><p>With this facility, you can connect to a repository of
      works (called "library"), and transfer one or more works to your
      local Bookshelf. These libraries may be local (e.g. a <span class="application">Sword</span> CD),
      or remote (e.g. Crosswire's online repository of <span class="application">Sword</span> modules,
      or another site offering <span class="application">Sword</span> modules). You can manage your
      libraries with 
      <span class="guibutton">Add library</span> and 
      <span class="guibutton">Delete library</span>.</p><p>To begin the installation or update process, select a
      library you want to connect to and a local Bookshelf path to
      install the work(s) to. Then click on 
      <span class="guibutton">Connect to library</span>. <span class="application">BibleTime</span> will
      scan the contents of the library and present you with a list of
      works that you can add to your Bookshelf, or that you already
      have installed but are available in a new version in the library,
      and thus can be updated. Then you can mark all works that you
      want to install or update, and click on 
      <span class="guibutton">Install works</span>. They will then be
      transferred to your Bookshelf.</p></div><div class="sect2" title="Remove work(s)"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-bookshelfmanager-remove"></a>Remove work(s)</h3></div></div></div><p>This facility allows you to delete one or more of the works
