Learn about the functionality that is new to this version:
- Ordering and usage statistics
- Easy identification of titles your library has already purchased
- Creating lists of ebooks that can be shared, merged, copied, or moved into a shopping cart
- Librarians can add, delete, or modify their organization's staff members
- Librarians can be a part of multiple organizations
The Amigos eShelf℠ Service provides options for libraries who work with e-books. It enhances e-book services that libraries already use, but can also be a library’s sole e-book service. Our pricing does not act as a barrier to entry and we are member-driven, implementing functionality suggested by Amigos members. Amigos:
- Works with publishers to provide e-book titles that libraries can purchase.
- Has secured interlibrary loan rights for most publishers.
- Allows libraries to choose where these e-books are found by their patrons, e.g., through their ILS or discovery service, or separately through an Amigos-supplied website.
- Allows patrons to read on most e-reader devices, as well as use their smartphone or tablet.
