2018 ESC-20 Library Resource Roundup

Join Erin Segreto MLS, Mackin Consultant, and explore the industry’s leading eResource management system, MackinVIA. Bring your own mobile device or laptop for a hands-on experience using eBooks, online databases, and audiobooks within MackinVIA. Are you a Google District or School? Learn how students can export notes from MackinVIA directly into Drive! Add your own content into MackinVIA such as online videos and websites. We will demonstrate how this robust system can be customized to meet your needs in the classroom and library, as well as assist administrators in purchasing and managing your school’s digital resources. Mackin’s mission for student centered digital learning aligns with the learner-centered nature of the Texas Standards and Guidelines for School Library Programs. MackinVIA promotes “collaborative instruction with teachers” through its group feature, provides a platform for the “carefully selected, and systematically organized collection of electronic resources,” and encourages learners to “read, write, view for understanding” through the tools of highlighting, note taking, and citation support.
