MackinVIA FAQs
How Can I make it easy for my patrons to find Comics Plus in MackinVIA?
There are a couple options for making it easy for your patrons to find Comics Plus inside their MackinVIA!
1. In your MackinVIA account, set the Start page to "Databases".
This is where Comics Plus is located inside of your MackinVIA account.
2. Create a Group that contains just Comics Plus and add this as a Featured Group on the MackinVIA Home Page.
Then set the default Start Page to Home. You can move the featured group so it is at the top of the page, then when patrons log into MackinVIA that will be the first thing they see. This is a great option if you do not want your home page to be Databases.
