What is eMargin
eMargin is a collaborative annotation tool. You can annotate, tag and comment on sections of a text, just like making notes in the margins. You can share and discuss your annotations with others. You can find more information here....
Home Page

If you do have an account then switch to the Login tab and enter either your username or email address along with your password to login.
When you are logged in the home page displays a list of texts available to you. To view a text, and view and add to its annotations, just click on the text in the list. More information about texts is in the Annotating section.
