Description
The Council is seeking to procure an e-books and e-audio books Service as part of our existing online Kirklees Library services. Kirklees Library Service currently operates twenty-four (24) libraries and a home library service covering a population of four hundred and twenty-two thousand four hundred and fifty-eight (422,458), and wishes to continue, with no break in service, providing an eBook offer, including e-book and e-audio service. We anticipate that one supplier will be able to provide both elements from a single platform. Aim The Council is seeking to retain and expand its customer base for its e-book and e-audio service. The current customer base ranges from children to adults of all ages. With potential cuts to our physical library resources, the Council seeks to encourage uptake of this Service to an even wider audience. This audience will have a varying degree of IT ability and access to a variety of different hardware devices and may be unfamiliar with the electronic library service. As such, our e-book and e-audio Supplier should be able to work with the Council's Library Services to promote this option to the wider community and help encourage new and existing library users to use this option.e-books will be borrowed virtually by library members and read/listened to on the widest possible range of e-readers, players, and mobile devices.The Service will offer a wide range of items through a customer friendly, easy to navigate portal and format, providing after sales support to both library staff and customers. Stock Requirements Stock provided should reflect a wide range of available titles for our customers in the categories listed below with a balance of titles between front and backlist and in e-book and E-audio formats: Adult Fiction Adult Non-Fiction Young Adult Children's The catalogue should have at least approximately two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) e-books and at least approximately five thousand (5,000) e-audiobook titles available, excluding titles from free sites such as (but not strictly limited to) Project Gutenberg and other titles available in the Public Domain. Both e-books and e-audiobook titles must be offered through the same provider/platform for the ease of use for the Council's customers. The offering must include a wide selection of UK Publishers and titles.
