RISOCKS

Authentication methods

How do students and teachers log in?

Please note:  if students are using a shared device, they NEED TO LOG OUT!  Sora cookies will keep you in your account (on the same device) until you log out.

  • OverDrive offers multiple ways to authenticate users:
    • Google G Suite Integration
    • LDAP, SAML v2.0
    • Follett Destiny
    • CLEVER and other digital learning platforms or learning management systems, such as CANVAS
    • Manage your own user names and passwords through the OverDrive hosted portal.
  • The current goal for both the library catalog and RISOCKS is to allow for single sign on as part of the district or school’s Digital Learning Platform or Learning Management System.
