Introduction of the 3M Cloud Library eBook lending service
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 3M Cloud Library System will revolutionize how patrons discover,
borrow and read eBooks from their library. This eBook 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.

|
|
|
|
|
"This system helps libraries connect to patrons on site, at home and
on the go," says 3M Library Systems Global Business Manager Matt
Tempelis. "It's a great example of how 3M's ongoing commitment to
libraries is helping them create the 21st century
library."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"We worked closely with librarians to develop this system, which
enabled us to create a solution that meets the needs of both
librarians and library patrons," adds 3M Library Systems Digital
Business Development Leader Tom Mercer. "The 3M Cloud Library eBook
lending service has simplified the discovery, browsing and check out
process for eBooks so that more patrons can enjoy the digital
content their library provides."
