E-RESOURCES

Students & Staff should access AISD databases, eBooks, audiobooks, and many other digital resources through the MackinVia app in the AISD Portal. The single-sign-on function of the portal ensures you can access resources easily without additional passwords. This page is mostly for information purposes. Some links are provided where applicable.

eBooks & Audiobooks
EBOOKS and AUDIOBOOKS allow you to read great books on any internet-connected device. You can also download them for off-line viewing/listening. You can use the bookmark, notes, and search features to help you if you are needing to annotate. A variety of titles gives you great options for both informative and entertaining reading. You can adjust the type, color, single or two-page layout, etc. You can also use the text-to-voice or leave it off when reading an eBook. The best audio is found in Audiobook format.
