Step 1
Set Up User Backpacks
Backpack™ accounts help users store and manage digital resources. Users can:
Users can create their own Backpacks through self-registration, or you can create Backpacks for them within your MackinVIA Administrator account, either individually or through an import of user data. Alternatively, we can work with you to automate Backpack creation through a free integration with your user management system or library catalog.
Step 2
Add Your Existing Digital Content to Our Open Platform
A unique feature of MackinVIA is that you are able to bring your own license. Add your existing digital content using the Add New Resource tool in your MackinVIA Administrator account, or request a migration from Mackin’s Digital Services team. With the initial purchase of digital resources from Mackin, your first migration is complimentary. Please see our Migration Policy for more information.
