Parental Controls

Can I set parental controls to ensure my student only sees grade-level appropriate eBooks and audiobooks?

Individual Sora accounts are assigned based on users' grade levels to control for access to content. Users are given access to their grade level and the grade levels below them. For example, a grade 7 student has access to content for grades 6-8 and grades K-5.

Grades K-5 (Juvenile literature)
Grades 6-8 (Juvenile & Young Adult literature)
Grades 9-12 (Juvenile, Young Adult & Adult literature)
Adults (Juvenile, Young Adult & Adult literature)

Can I set parental controls on a device so my student can only use Sora and not do other things on the device?

Can I log in to my student’s account and read or listen to the same books or see their history?

You are only able to log in to a user's account with that users' log in information. History is only visible within a patron's account.
