What it does
Flipster is EBSCO’s digital magazine subscription platform for libraries. It supplies magazine-reading access and support material for library staff and patrons.
Confirm your library offers Flipster; its subscription determines which magazines you can read. In the iOS app, find the library manually or through optional location suggestions, choose Log In and enter its credentials or barcode. Download an issue to My Shelf for offline reading.
Some selected weekly issues may expire after two days, and selected monthly or seasonal issues after seven. Expired issues can be downloaded again. Text View removes page images and ads, with a speaker control for text-to-speech.
