An unparalleled digital resource for independent reading, curriculum integration, and research.

Your annual subscription to Comics Plus® includes digital access for every faculty member and student—in the library, on campus, and at home. Every title is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for offline reading, with unlimited, simultaneous checkout to maximize circulation through required course readings, book clubs, and other engaging initiatives.

• Unlimited, simultaneous access to a diverse collection of comics, manga, and picture books.
• Expert curation to support readers’ advisory and programming.
• Admin tools to help align your collection to your library’s collection development policy.

Readers can browse through the comics by popularity, recency, genre, or publisher. There’s a search field to find titles, and search results provide item records with each book’s essential details, e.g., author(s), publisher, language, genre… It is important to consider that there are no waiting lists, titles can be read an unlimited number of times by multiple users simultaneously, and the “granular title control gives administrators the power to customize Comics Plus to suit” readers’ preferences.

Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates, and two-year students.
