Tip from Aspen: If you implement the BLS proxy instructions for Safari: Before using the reader view, please turn off the "Prevent cross-site tracking" setting in your browser.  See: Safari > Settings > Privacy tab > Website tracking > Disable the "Prevent cross-site tracking" option. 

Tip from Aspen: A BLS student who wishes to read an Aspen study guide offline, to add notes/highlights to a study guide, and/or to print a limited number of pages from a study guide should register to create a personal account on Aspen Learning Library's home page and should download Aspen's app.  See instructions at: Getting Started with the Aspen Learning Library.  A student who merely wishes to read a study guide can click Aspen's "Read Online" option in the browser desktop version.  Aspen states: "offline reading is not available in the browser desktop version, get the app for offline reading!"
