[CASL-L] 2020 Nutmeg Nominees Online

[Polack, Lisa]

I included Kym on this email so she can confirm but I believe RB digital
through the state offers the titles as single use access. I just clicked on
one title and it said Place a Hold (instead of Checkout). I'm not sure how
many of each copy the state has purchased.

In general, for fiction titles with multi-use access, I've had the best
luck with Hoopla through the town library.
I was able to work with the head of the town library to get about 125
students public library cards so they could access these books.

I haven't checked yet to see how many of the current or new nominees are
available through that platform and I think it varies town to town but it's
worth a look!
