The eBook format is not new. It has been around for decades. However, the invention of mobile reading devices saw the popularity of eResources skyrocket.

Does your library management system integrate seamlessly with your eBooks? Is downloading the eResources they need a simple process for your users?

It is – if their library or knowledge center uses Liberty.

Increased Demand

The demand for eBooks has grown over the last decade. But it has increased significantly since the start of the COVID-19 crisis. Did your library solution seamlessly manage the circulation of eResources before the crisis? If not, it won’t handle the current demand!

Liberty’s secret sauce is eZRead. It means your users can access digital resources without leaving Liberty, all at the click of a button!

Liberty’s eZRead enables libraries to source eResources from:

Any eResources not sourced from the providers listed above can also be easily found and downloaded by your users.
