SimplyE + Library Simplified
A platform designed by libraries for libraries
SimplyE and Library Simplified provide an interoperable, end-to-end system for digital collection management, from hosting to patron experience. It allows libraries to retain their identity while using a common, library-designed platform. Designed with nonprofit library values in mind, the platform allows libraries to take back control of their digital collections and creates a simple, easy-to-use patron experience.
How it Works
The platform works seamlessly to serve up content from multiple vendors to patrons in the SimplyE app
SimplyE
SimplyE is a patron-facing ereading application for iOS and Android that allows libraries to serve all their econtent from multiple sources into one easy-to-use interface. SimplyE’s library administration tools give librarians control of which materials their patrons see that can help libraries drive discovery and circulation of their whole collection, not just bestsellers.
Circulation Manager
The Library Simplified Circulation Manager connects a library’s book collections with the SimplyE ereader. It handles user authentication; combines vendor-purchased licensed works with open access materials a library may wish to make available; and serves catalog data.
DPLA Exchange
The DPLA Exchange is a non-profit ebook and audiobook marketplace developed in consultation with libraries, for libraries. DPLA advocates for libraries with publishers and offers unique license models on much of the content available in the DPLA Exchange.
