[Brandie Baumann]

BCR and the Ingram Digital Group have partnered to offer special pricing
to the member libraries of BCR for Ingram's aggregated eBook library
solution, MyiLibrary. 

 

BCR serves more than 8,000 member libraries in 41 US states and Canada.
Under the agreement, BCR members can access a multitude of content on
the MyiLibrary platform, a leading aggregator of online e-book and
e-content resources for academic, public, medical, professional and
corporate libraries throughout the world. 

 

"BCR is excited to be able to offer BCR members the e-book collections
from MyiLibrary.  MyiLibrary is a welcome addition to the suite of
products and services BCR can bring to its members," said Brenda
Bailey-Hainer, President and CEO of BCR.

 

MyiLibrary's easy-to-navigate user interface enables fast access to
extensive collections of electronic information.  Users can access
content on an individual title, publisher-specific or subject collection
basis, depending on their particular requirements. In addition, flexible
authentication, comprehensive search and retrieval capabilities and the
ability for individual users to annotate and store searches for access
at a later date makes the MyiLibrary solution an indispensable tool for
academic library users.  MyiLibrary also offers customers the benefits
of simultaneous multi-user access with no check-in or check-out
requirements, no plug-in's or readers to download, as well as functions
like new title alerts.

 

"Consortia like BCR have thousands of members, and we're proud to serve
them with high quality content and seamless access," said James Gray,
President and CEO of Ingram Digital Group.  "At Ingram Digital, we
deliver an industry leading suite of innovative solutions that meet a
library's needs in terms of content, aggregation and acquisition work
flow for digital content. We are particularly excited that a longtime
leader in library services like BCR has selected MyiLibrary to satisfy
their customer's demand for additional content."   

 

As part of the Ingram Digital Group, MyiLibrary now has over 100,000
current front list academic and scholarly titles available, with an
additional 1,000 titles being added weekly. MyiLibrary works with the
world's leading commercial publishers including McGraw-Hill, John Wiley,
