[aisle] SORA and Public Library Connect

[Rebecca Plaza]

Hi Ericka,


Our public reached out to us. You maybe want to see if they will agree. It also seems to take some time for all buttons to be pushed by Overdrive/Sora.

Good luck-

Subject: [aisle] SORA and Public Library Connect

Hey all!
Has anyone used Sora and Public Library Connect? My district has gone remote until December and this is my first year as a librarian here.  We are trying to find a district-wide platform to provide remote access to digital resources.  This fall I purchased the only ebooks our building has and taught students how to access them through Follett, but I have no idea how Sora +PLC would work.
--Is it pricey?
--How did you reach out to your public library about this? Was it well received by your public library?
--How does one add books to the collection?
Feeling like such a noob right now. Any suggestions or warnings would be gratefully received.
Thanks
