Awesome New Ways To Promote & Engage Your Readers With The eResources Within MackinVIA!

Picture your students looking around the library for a book and they see this sticker in the upper corner that tells them there is an eBook available within MackinVIA too.  

They can use the print and eBook in a variety of ways together but making that connection....

to the same eBook with MackinVIA is engaging and fun for our readers.  It is also super helpful for teachers and parents to know that too.  

When I started using MackinVIA to organize all of the eBooks, databases, and audio books within the library I did everything I could to spread the word within our school community about this new great place everyone could go to find the things they needed. 

We had a big kick-off day with all of our students, teachers and parents.  It was really fun to roll out this new platform. 

We created posters to engage our school community within MackinVIA and hung them around school, town, and shared them on our social media networks like Twitter and Facebook.

I also made smaller posters to send home with the students and lots of lots of business size cards for them to tape onto their laptops, put inside their bags and planners....

and even pull out of their wallet when needed.

We encouraged our students to download the MackinVIA app on their devices to have these resources available when they needed it at school, home, and anywhere they might be. 

You can read all about our MackinVIA rollout on this post, Something Exciting Has Come To Van Meter....MackinVIA and eBooks!  

As you can see MackinVIA and everything that comes with it can make such a difference, but it does take a little effort, time, and creativity. 

But I have something awesome to tell you!
