Using Funds4Books & eBooks to Build eBook Collections
Mackin's Funds4Books & eBooks online donation program allows schools and libraries to use 100% of funds to purchase eBooks, books, and other literacy and curriculum resources.
Burnsville, MN, January 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Every day, Mackin Educational Resources hears from librarians across the country facing slashed budgets and aging collections, striving to keep their libraries and their jobs relevant in a changing technological and educational environment. Although there is a lot to learn, and even more to teach, consider the exciting opportunity this new electronic world is providing for today’s librarians.
With MackinVIA, Mackin’s free online platform for electronic resources, librarians now have access to hundreds of thousands of eBooks, audiobooks and databases. By acquiring, managing and instructing students and staff on how to use these new electronic materials, librarians can once again return the academic focus of our schools to the library and align with classrooms to improve and expand learning possibilities for students.
Mackin’s Funds4Books & eBooks, an innovative online donation program, is an easy and fun way for librarians to raise money to purchase eBooks and databases. With Funds4Books & eBooks, librarians receive 100% of all funds raised to spend on anything from Mackin. Whether building a new eBook collection, or expanding the library’s current digital offerings, this unique fundraising program gives librarians the ability to strengthen their libraries and provide students with the materials they need to succeed in today’s world of digital learning.
Within the Funds4Books & eBooks Department at Mackin, professionals work with librarians to prepare for and to manage these campaigns. Together, they create and tailor promotional materials to advertise the fundraiser, design a custom webpage where individual and corporate donors can contribute to the campaign, and plan how the funds will be used to benefit the library. Mackin then customizes the campaign with any goal the user has in mind, such as acquiring popular fiction eBooks for students, purchasing multi-user nonfiction eBooks for classrooms or adding audiobooks to the mix or getting more databases to facilitate student research. Funds4Books & eBooks is also a great way to raise money to update or add new print books to a school's collection – all delivered, shelf-ready, for free.
To date, nearly 600 schools have already participated in Mackin’s Funds4Books & eBooks, with hundreds of thousands of dollars raised and returned to libraries to spend on the materials they need.
