02 Apr beConect now provides BibliMags Digital Newsstand service to OCLC
beConect inc. is now providing OCLC’s cloudLibrary NewsStand service with BibliMags for magazines and newspapers in the US, Canada (except Quebec), Australia and New Zealand. Proud to serve OCLC – a great mission driven company.
Nearly 500 libraries in 20 countries rely on OCLC’s cloudLibrary to provide access to a rich collection of digital content including millions of ebooks and audio books as well as tens of thousands of magazines, digital newspapers, digital comics, and streaming media services in more than 50 languages. Libraries make these collections available to their communities through cloudLibrary’s top-rated mobile app while a web portal makes it easy for library staff to manage their subscriptions.
“We welcome the cloudLibrary team to the OCLC family. OCLC is in a unique position to provide cloudLibrary with a world-class technology infrastructure and a network of public libraries that serve more than 50 million people worldwide. This acquisition expands our service to public libraries and reinforces our commitment to increasing access to information,” said Skip Prichard, OCLC President and CEO.
