2011-09-01

BURNSVILLE, MN, September 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Just in time for the new school year, Mackin Educational Resources has launched a new ebook and online database management system called MACKIN VIA .

MACKIN VIA will allow students, librarians, teachers and administrators to simultaneously use and manage all their ebooks and online databases with one simple login.

Provided free of charge to Mackin eResource customers, MACKIN VIA is whiteboard compatible, can be used on any computer or device with Internet access, and eliminates the need for educators and students to use multiple logins from different publishers to use their school's eResources.

"Users can search for ebooks by keyword, author, subject, genre and more; one click opens the ebook," said Mackin president Randal Heise. "Online databases are also accessible in MACKIN VIA with one click. We fully anticipate the easy login system to increase eResource usage among students and educators."

To track usage, MACKIN VIA includes custom reporting tools that will help administrators determine which eResources are being used the most and by whom - critical data to have as educators today are working with tight budgets.

Known for its customization capabilities, Mackin has created a custom feature within MACKIN VIA that allows the system's administrator to create special groupings of ebooks for grades, classes, subjects, reading groups and more. The VIA Group feature makes it easy for teachers and students to access the specific ebooks for their class or group.

Anyone ordering ebooks or online databases via Mackin will receive a free MACKIN VIA account for their school.

Mackin is a 27-year-old provider of library and classroom books, ebooks and online databases, audiobooks, videos and more to schools around the globe.
