Ingram Announces Two New Access Models

Ingram Content Group recently announced two new library e-content models to provide access to e-books and audiobooks. The first, a content distribution agreement between Ingram and Recorded Books, will provide publishers with access to a larger audience of audiobook purchasers through Recorded Books’ One-Clickdigital platform. The e-audio offering became available in the second quarter of 2011. The second new service option, to launch in the coming months, expands access to library content available through WorldCat Resource Sharing to include access to e-books from Ingram’s MyiLibrary e-book collection for a period of up to nine days. E-book loans are fee-based, set at 15 percent of the MyiLibrary price for access to the e-book. The fee is managed through the WorldCat Resource Sharing Interlibrary Loan Fee Management feature, a service that supports payment of resource-sharing services through the library’s OCLC invoice.
