OCLC's CloudLibrary and SOLUS announce integration in the SOLUS Library App
OCLC's CloudLibrary and SOLUS are pleased to announce the integration of CloudLibrary into the SOLUS Library App, delivering a more seamless digital reading experience for SOLUS Library App patrons. With this new integration, patrons can easily discover and borrow CloudLibrary ebooks and audiobooks through the SOLUS Library App, with reading and listening taking place in the CloudLibrary App.
One of the key benefits of this integration is the real-time availability of CloudLibrary titles. Patrons can instantly see whether an item is available to borrow or place on hold, just as they would for physical materials. This transparency eliminates confusion, reduces unnecessary clicks, and allows patrons to make faster, more informed borrowing decisions.
Key features of the integration include:
- Real-time item availability and hold status
- Borrowing directly within the SOLUS Library App
- Unified search results across physical and digital collections
- Automatic syncing of checkouts
This integration is now available for all library partners using the SOLUS Library App and subscribed to CloudLibrary in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and England. Libraries interested in enabling this feature can reach out to their SOLUS representative for onboarding assistance.
