Ellibs for Libraries

Ellibs offers libraries with a comprehensive turnkey solution, which is easy to link to the library’s own system or Website. Commissioning couldn’t be any easier, and the system won’t burden the library’s own systems or servers.

Acquiring the Ellibs system is an economical and speedy solution providing library users with access to thousands of ebooks. The introductory fee for the service includes installation and support for the system. The available additional services include training and an info package for users and staff. The annual fee for the service includes system support, maintenance, upgrades and operating costs. The library chooses the titles they want and includes them in the system with electronic titles, and ones selected are delivered virtually in real-time.
