Why switch from Destiny to Sora eBooks?
- We can’t maintain our current setup with Follett as a single district for interlibrary loan purposes and allow our members to use Single Sign On (SSO) or easily include library access through services such as CLEVER.
- To address this issue, we need to change from our Follett district library manager system with each district/independent school as its own site, which would mean that the shared eBook collection, BookLynx, could no longer be used.
- The way we have been funding BookLynx limits its usefulness, as we are not spending enough to keep the collection at a level that can support the current number of students and teachers in our member schools.
- Here is the current collection size of RISOCKS, with only a few schools participating:
- 2,195 items, including some duplicate copies
- Audiobooks -174 items, including some duplicate copies
