We're thrilled to have Sarah Probst, Consortium Sales Manager at Springshare, lead a presentation covering basic functionality in LibGuides, as well as the newer features Springshare has added.

This session will cover the highlights of both products, including:

• · Examples from RILINK Schools
• · The patron experience
• · Our included world-class customer support

Please register for this session. Include any questions you have in advance. Make sure you have access to your LibGuide to participate. Let us know if you need help.

Every month our OverDrive team shares data with us about the RISOCKS collection and the great job many of your are doing to get your students reading with Sora. Would you consider sharing your experience on the Sora Spotlight? Each Sora Spotlight showcases an educator who has become a Sora champion at their school with strategies to implement the platform and engage students. See Spotlight profiles here and contact Karen for more information.
