Comics Plus Training

Hello,

Because our trainer is unable to enable more than eight logins, we are cancelling next Tuesday’s live webinars.

Instead, we are asking those who either missed the training last Thursday or planned to take it next Tuesday to please watch the archived webinar when we receive it from the trainer.  We will let you know as soon as it is posted on the training portal.    

You are welcome to explore Comics Plus at any time by creating an account at the URL highlighted below.

A few FAQs from Thursday’s training: 

1)       We will allow five checkouts at a time when the service goes live on Friday, May 23 (in time for Comicpalooza). 

2)       Items are checked out for seven days and cannot be returned early.

3)       This service works like hoopla, in that the library pays every time a customer downloads an item.  There is multiple access to any given title; that is, any number of users can read it at once. 

4)      This is a streaming service so you must be connected to the Internet to read your comics, manga and graphic novels.

5)      Iverse is adding additional publishers to the service.  Right now about 2/3 of the content is for children and young adults.

6)      There are materials in other languages that you can find by searching that language, including Mandarin and Spanish.

7)      Customers will need the latest version of most  common browsers to access the service.

Thanks for your patience.
