Back Issues added to Zinio

Zinio is in the process of making back issues available and live on our Zinio for Libraries site!

Shortly our library will contain all of the magazine back issues in our collection, back to the beginning of our subscription. Major enhancements include:

• the ability to check out any new and or back list issues for magazines in our Zinio collection
• the ability to check out multiple issues before viewing them in our Zinio.com reading account
• a detailed magazine page showcasing the current issue, issue date, publication description, compatible mobile apps, and back list issues in the library collection

During the process of bringing our collection live with back issues patrons may experience slowness in service as well as intermittent success with the search function and genre search. The addition of back issues may also temporarily affect the availability of new magazines appearing in our library collection. These issues are expected to be temporary.
