The inimitable Tressa Santillo joins us to talk about the #1 enrolled collective school digital book collection in New England (also #2 in the country, and #3 in the world)– the MA Commonwealth eBook Collection and its interface app, SORA. Join us for a talk about usability, applications for school libraries, the interface, how usage skyrocketed during COVID, curations, lending models and a lot more. Below are links and deadlines for adding this collection to your district:
MA Commonwealth eBook Collection Renewal is happening right now, enrolled school librarians should have received an email to renew.
Let Tressa know what the summer reading titles for your school will be so she can see if they are available to turn on for simultaneous use.
Enroll in the MA Commonwealth Collection, via SORA connection to your school, starts in July, goes until December.
