[ISLMA-Share] digital content

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Before I was able to "scope" my collection so that adult books would not be
available, I had my elementary school parents request the username/password
on behalf of their children. It wasn't great...but it worked. I introduced
the collection to kids in library class and sent home flyers to parents.
Less than half requested the access info.

Now I can scope everything and that has opened up the collection directly
to the students. Now I can give students their usernames/passwords in class
and we all go together directly to the collection so that they see what's
available and try out anything they want to.
