    What would be the best way to handle a subject like History where I will use only chapters of various books for the term?  I love the new bibliography report.  I want to capture all the books we are using but we are using so many and only pieces and parts of them this term.  Do I need to enter ALL of those books and select chapters from them that we will use in order to capture this information?  If I include it in the notes under a general “History” lesson then I won’t get the record of the specific book in a report form, right?

    Here’s how the different reports break down in terms of what book information is displayed on each:

    Summary Report: Any completed divisions from the book you used will show up on your report. Notes are not shown.

    Detailed Report: Shows all completed and worked on divisions from the book you used, plus any notes attached. So if you record books with a note, they will show on this report, but it won’t be the specific book record. (You’ll need to expand the notes to see them on a printout.)

    Bibliography Report: Any books that you’ve marked off a division as at least worked on will show as having been used during your school year. However, if you just record a book on a note, you won’t see it on this report.

    So the short answer is that if you want it to show up on your Bibliography or Summary report, you’ll need to actually enter the book into your schedule. You can use the division selector in the Scheduler to schedule only the divisions that you plan to use.
