Library solutions provider 3M Library Systems is set to launch its 3M Cloud Library e-book lending service at the ALA Annual Conference, scheduled for June 23-28, 2011 in New Orleans. Random House and IPG are among the first publishers to partner with the company for the service.
With the launch of the 3M Cloud Library service, the company seeks to revolutionise how patrons discover, borrow and read e-books from their library. The e-book solution includes a comprehensive subscription for both digital content and in-library hardware, along with apps for borrowing and reading, providing libraries with a simple and turnkey system for participating in the digital revolution.
To develop the 3M Cloud Library service, the company is said to have worked closely with librarians to create a solution that meets the needs of both librarians and library patrons. The service seeks to simplify the discovery, browsing and check out process for e-books so that more patrons can enjoy the digital content their library provides.
At the ALA booth, visitors can test drive the new 3M eReaders and 3M Discovery Terminal, as well as the 3M Cloud Library App for iPad.
