Boundless Ebook Platform Changes
Baker & Taylor, a major supplier of library books and ebooks, has suddenly closed down. This will not impact the library's print collection because we use a different supplier. However, Baker & Taylor proves the platform our Boundless app for ebooks and audiobooks (also called eRead Illinois), so this app will soon be unavailable. However, we will not be losing access to these ebooks and audiobooks! Our collection will migrate to a new service called The Palace Project.
Key dates for the sunsetting of the Boundless App:
- Effective Immediately: Users are no longer able to place new holds on the Boundless App.
