Depending on the order in which access to the free Sora platform and the MLS collection was set up will determine how students can access titles:
If the school was first set up with the MLS collection and then the district joined the free Sora platform
- Unless the district plans to purchase a significant amount of additional content, no action is required. Titles available on the free Sora platform are duplicated in the MLS collection.
- If the district does plan to purchase additional content, add the district as a "library" in Sora
- Click on the menu button on top-right of screen (three horizontal lines)
- Click "Add a New Library"
- Type in the name of your school district and select it
- Follow the prompts to log in with your school credentials
