5. Complete the required contact information fields. We recommend that you make the IngentaConnect username the same as your HFES member login username. For the password, enter your HFES member ID number. NOTE: The IngentaConnect and HFES Web site databases are not connected. To access the Digital Library, you will need to use your IngentaConnect login ID. Keep your IngentaConnect login ID in a safe place, as HFES will not have access to it.

8. Select the "Add" tab at the top of the page.

10. Five HFES titles will appear. Enter check marks in the boxes for Human Factors, Ergonomics in Design, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting Proceedings, and Reviews of Human Factors and Ergonomics. If you paid for a subscription to the Journal of Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making, check that box as well. If you are not a JCEDM subscriber, do not check that box.
11. A "subscription number" must be entered in the text box next to each title you checked. This is your HFES member ID number.
12. Click "Add."
13. A message will appear on the Personal Subscriptions page that your subscription activation request has been received by HFES and will indicate when access will be turned on (usually within two business days). Ingenta will also send you a confirmation message via e-mail that your registration was completed, and another e-mail when access has been authorized by HFES.
