Goals
- Find Library Audiobooks user can borrow and play in SimplyE
- Borrow Library Audiobooks in SimplyE
- Play Library Audiobooks in SimplyE
Background and strategic fit
SimplyE provides a simplified and elegant universal e-content discovery, lend and reading experience for library patrons who seek to read ebooks from the lirbary. As such the SimplyE app will need to support audiobook format ebooks as the format grows in adoption and popularity with library patrons. The project will include the integration of Audiobook player functionality and audiobook catalog materials discovery, lend and play functions of SimplyE. That work has a design and engineering component. The specific work will include integration of audiobook materials into the SimplyE discovery and borrowing UX. This requires a new audiobook player UI. There also will be a server integration component involving the Circulation Manager (CM). That work will specifically require minor modifications to the CM Admin Interface as well as the catalog’s and applications service gateway (e.g. interface to provider APIs for RB Digital, Bibliotheca and Baker & Taylor, and Findaway.)
Assumptions
- Resources are available to do this work at NYPL.
