Dear BAISL community,
Sharing something I hope will be helpful to others in our group..Our
library is collaborating with SFPL to get ecards & PINS electronically sent
to all of our students and faculty. This means they will have access to
Kanopy, Hoopla, and much more. Bulleted list a small fraction of SFPL
offerings below.
My contact at SFPL is Michelle Jeffers, chief of community programs and
partnerships, and she said she would be happy offer and coordinate the
same for any other SF independent schools. Her email is
michelle.jeffers@xxxxxxxx.
If any non SF schools are interested in approaching their local library
systems to inquire about a similar collaboration, I'm happy to share how we
approached SFPL.
Also happy to answer any questions about the logistics/data transfer
privacy issues/etc.
