Expanding Your Digital Library

We support and provide…


eBooks and Audiobooks

 

The world of ebooks is ever growing and evolving, and we’re not just talking about trends in titles and lilcensing. With the consistent introduction of distribution channels and products entering the market, the opportunity for access grows, but so does the complexity.


Video and other emerging technology

 

The way people consume media is constantly in flux, so the content needs to adapt quickly. We strive to anticipate these changes so you can focus more on creating an experience for your community.


Negotiation and purchase

 

Whether you are in charge of a smaller library, a larger system, or have a mid-sized community, all libraries need to maximize the mileage they can get for their dollar.
