Trial Access to Mango Premiere

We’ve had a subscription to Mango Languages for a while. Now, we have trial access to an additional component: Mango Premiere, a service that offers 20 videos in different languages. If you bring up a French movie, for example, you can turn on English subtitles or French subtitles or both.

There is a unique logon for this trial found on the “Databases Overview” page of the Library Services wiki. You’ll need to use the link on the Trials tab of the main databases page, as the other Mango Languages link won’t connect to the trial we have.
