SimplyE is the Open Source Reading Platform built by libraries for libraries to improve access to ebooks from libraries.

The project aims to streamline the experience of borrowing electronic books from a public library. We offer:

  • A mobile e-reader (iOS and Android) that focuses on patron experience and accessibility.
  • Seamless integration of collections from multiple vendors.
  • Easy access to a wide variety of public domain and open-access books.

Our goal is to make borrowing ebooks as easy as buying them.

This wiki is written by the Library Simplified developers and intended for use by technical staff at public libraries. For details on how to get your library involved, see the Library Simplified website.

Overview

Library Simplified is a collection of middleware, server software and mobile client applications for iOS and Android that libraries may use to deliver digital content to their patrons for experimentation or daily eBook services. It is designed to provide a unique user experience for the lending of eBooks and other digital content. It integrates with technologies and systems common to libraries like:

  • A Integrated Library System/Library Management System (ILS/LMS)
  • Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC)
  • Single Sign On (SSO) credential management system
  • Commercial eBook hosting and distribution services
