Flipster

This tutorial will:

1) Demonstrate how to access Flipster from the library website.

2) Demonstrate how to use Flipster on a mobile device (iPad, Android).

Go to the library homepage. Select Articles – JCC databases.

http://www.sunyjefferson.edu/academics/library

Then select Newspapers and Magazines.

You will find Flipster at the bottom the page. Select the link.

(If you are accessing from off campus, you will need to log in with your JCC username and password. )

On Flipster, select a magazine and browse using the arrows provided

You can also download the app and view magazines from your iPad or Android tablet.

To do this, go to your app store, search for Flipster and download the app to your device.

Next, go to the browser on your device (Safari, Chrome, etc). As you did in the first part of this tutorial, navigate to the library website and find the link for Flipster on the Newspapers and Magazines.

From the Flipster website search for or choose the magazine you would like to read.

If the Flipster app is installed, then a bar will show up at the top giving you the option to open the Magazine in the Flipster app.

Downloading it to the app is essentially like “checking out” the magazine, so you will notice that there is a due date listed under it. This means that the magazine will disappear from the app after that due date.

Now you are done and ready to read your magazine from the comfort of your portable device.
