Activate Sora Wishlist

Want to easily know which titles your teachers and students would like added to your Sora collection?

Have your Sora coordinator activate the Sora Wishlist feature on TeachingBooks. This adds an icon to titles not currently owned in your Sora collection and empowers your teachers and students to request new ebooks or audiobooks for purchase.

Coordinators will receive a monthly report that lists the newly requested titles and directions to generate a quote for the books in OverDrive Marketplace.

To learn more and activate Sora Wishlist, visit TeachingBooks.net/SoraDiscovery
