This solution covers the provision and servicing of adult and children's fiction and non-fiction, eBooks, DVDs and Blu Rays to central delivery points, individual branch libraries, schools and other client establishments. Stock can be ordered both pre-publication and pre-release.
The solution offers an attractive discount rate for both adult and children’s books at 40.5% and provides consolidated invoicing for both physical goods and associated services (i.e. labelling/RFID programming). The inclusion of an eBook service along with the physical provision will assist libraries in delivering invaluable benefits to the community, including improved literacy levels and digital access to content.
