Currently there are many companies and programs that are dedicated to offering ebooks to different institutions and libraries. Companies that have a certain number of clients or governments.
Such is the case of Overdrive, Camilo or 3M Cloud Library. Some libraries use more than one service, something interesting but little by little it is making users go crazy because they have to be registered in three or more apps and search through these apps for the titles they want to read. Something tedious for many. Connecticut libraries are aware of this and have decided to change it.
There are more and more apps for libraries, a problem Connecticut wants to solve
Thus, during the next few days work will be done on an application that manages all ebooks and to which the user only has to go to this application. This app is called EGO that will be developed by Library Connection Inc. This app is not yet functional but it will be a matter of days before this app comes to devices with iOS and Android of Connecticut library patrons.
The intention is that libraries do not have to depend on several apps to read ebooks, something that other libraries such as New York are already doing. A) Yes, EGO will have a relationship with SimplyE of the New York library, at least some of your code will be reused to speed up the build process.
Fortunately in Spain such a situation does not occur since it is usually a company that supplies all libraries, but it is a good example to affirm that having a very laborious or long process makes the user read less ebooks or use these services less. So it seems Connecticut and its libraries have had a great idea. However, Will it be possible to unify all the applications under the same app? How about having more than one service when it comes to having ebooks?
