State Library of Kansas Partners with Total BooX

摘要

The State Library of Kansas in December soft launched a partnership with Total BooX, the pay-as-you-read metered ebook platform, building on a statewide digital lending program that offers library patrons access to the 3M Cloud Library, Freading, Enki, OneClickdigital Audiobooks, TumbleBooks, BookFlix, and Britannica E-STAX. "We're pretty committed to finding different [ebook] models, and we don't know which model is going to be the best," said Jo Budler, State Librarian of Kansas and LJ's 2013 Librarian of the Year. "Personally, I love the Freading model, and Total BooX is a lot like that," she added, noting that both platforms offer library patrons unlimited simultaneous access to thousands of ebooks with no up-front fees or maintenance fees.
