Hi everyone! Karin created a 3-tab spreadsheet of our Sora add-on collections. This makes it easier for educators to see what's in NY Reads and PLConnect, as well as to see format and quantity levels. Feel free to share this link widely. You can also download your own copy to sort it any way you like, and share it with teachers and administrators in your school.
Each title has an icon next to it to indicate if it's an ebook or an audiobook, so it's easy to tell at a glance. I also highlighted rows as green if they are available for large groups, or purple if they tend to be one copy/one user.
- Tab 1: Main NY Reads collection, sorted alphabetically. These titles are all “simultaneous access”, which means they're perfect for large groups. These are available all the time, with no worries about holds or waiting times.
- Tab 2: NY Reads LOTE collection. This is a great place to look for titles in other languages. Some titles, like 1984, are available in multiple languages. These titles are not simultaneous access, so it's possible in some instances that a student would have to place a hold on a title not currently available.
- Tab 3: PLConnect. This is a collection of professional materials. Karin sorted these so that the titles with the most copies are listed first.
