Welcome Back!
2018-2019 School Year
Hello From MultiMedia!
Welcome back friends! Another summer has come and gone and now we are back to the school day grind. Please remember that the MultiMedia library is here to support you and your school district in any way we can. At the very bottom of this flyer you will find a few of our helpful user guides. These will help you learn how to book multiple books at once and access resource lists. If you ever run into any problems or have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email us. Also, if you or your school district would like a visit to review the best ways to use the MultiMedia library, please contact us.
Reminder:
Things to remember for the beginning of the school year:
Courier Delivery: If you have ordered multiple copies of a book (generally more than 10 copies or so) please expect your items to be delivered on your specific courier day. Anything more than 10 copies is generally to heavy for the bus drivers to carry. If you are unsure of your courier delivery day, please contact us. *DAILY MAIL WILL BEGIN ON 9/10/18. * (applicable only to schools that receive daily mail- see below for courier schedule)
Booking Multiple books: Multiple books are booked out by COPY, not as classroom sets. If you are looking to order more than one copy of a book, you must enter the amount in the "how many" spot on the ordering page. If you run into any difficulties with this please let us know.
Login Refresher: Usernames and passwords are generally first initial last name. An additional A or B may be at the end of the username if you have a popular name. The generic password for everyone is WSWHEBOCES (not case sensitive). Passwords cannot be changed. Having a generic password makes our pass-through streaming service run smoothly and avoids having to login multiple times on different websites.
Resource Lists: Foreign Language film resource lists have been created and High Low Book resource lists have been updated. MultiMedia has at least 30 copies of all Battle of the Books, they can be found in updated resource lists as well. Please keep in mind that resource lists are easy to use and create and are a great way to keep materials organized.
Regents Review: 2017 regents review videos are available streamed online thanks to WCNY. This link can also be found on the library catalog login page.
