Overview - My Bookcase and Team Bookcase

Every user account on idc.com has a Bookcase. The Bookcase is a fast way to find links to research and event proceedings that you want to save. You can access your Bookcase at any time siply by clicking on the My IDC tab then clicking the My Bookcase link underneath the tab.

Whenever you see a link called "Save To Bookcase" on idc.com, clicking on that link will add the item to your bookcase.

You can create "shelves" in your bookcase to keep your links organized, and can name them for projects, topics, or teams that you participate in. Copy, move and delete the links at your convenience.

Members of Corporate Accounts may create Team Bookcases, which allow you to invite other idc.com account members to access the same Team Bookcase, creating workgroups of research and shared links. note: team members must also be subscribers of an IDC research service in order to have access to a Team Bookcase, but do not need to be members of the same account.
