Baker & Taylor, a distributor of digital and physical books, has released an upgrade to its popular Axis 360 digital media platform. New options allow library patrons to check out ebooks on e-readers compatible with EPUB and PDF formats, such as NOOK, Sony Reader and Kobo devices.
With Axis 360, library patrons can now use virtually any of the top multi-function phones, tablets and e-reader devices to find, check out and read digital titles from their local library. Patrons can select the ebook format that works best for them - EPUB or PDF formats, or Blio, the fully-accessible, free ereader app that offers rich features and content, and is available on Apple iOS, Android and Windows devices.
Axis 360 is Baker & Taylor's new digital media circulation and management platform, used by many of the country's top public, K-12 school and academic libraries. It is a fully-accessible platform that opens a world of content to those who are visually impaired. The new upgrade was implemented for all Axis 360-enabled libraries and will serve as the platform for ongoing development and growth of Baker & Taylor's digital media library, which now has nearly 300,000 electronic titles available for library circulation.
