Thanks Amy Eilers for this awesome video!

Note about Audiobook Preferences

In the video overview, Amy Eiler talks about how to set your preferences, including audience and book availability.

Audience

In Sora, students will only be able to see books that are appropriate for their level.

All books are available to adults and high school students.
Middle school students may access young adult and juvenile books.
Elementary school students may access juvenile books.

In Destiny, students can see all books in the collection. However, book access is limited by level. For example, if an elementary student clicks on a young adult book, they won't be able to access it.

All Books vs Available Books

If you would like to place holds on books that are currently in use, be sure to set your preferences so that you can view all books.

Copies

When you look at the details of a book, you can see how many copies are available (see image below).

If it says, "Always available" an unlimited number of people can access the book simultaneously.
