Sora Showcase
Sora Showcase is our user-friendly, interactive discovery kiosk software designed to promote and increase access to your digital collection in your schools. Set up Sora Showcase in high-traffic areas to highlight titles from your school’s Sora collection and encourage students and staff to explore your content.
Sora Showcase works on devices ranging from tablets to large screen displays.
How does Sora Showcase work?
Students can interact with Sora Showcase to browse, search, and sample titles. When they find something they like, they can easily use QR codes to download or open Sora and borrow the title.
Sora Showcase can be customized to fit the needs and interests of students at your school. You can promote the different formats, subjects, and languages your collection offers. Or, set up Sora Showcase at open houses and school events to introduce your Sora collection to your school community.
