ePlatform Library 

ePlatform is a library lending system designed to make the borrowing and reading of eBooks, as well as the listening of Audiobooks, simple and enjoyable. The setup is simple to complete and the eBook reading process is an enjoyable and seamless one.

Through ePlatform your library users are able to browse for, borrow, and read eBooks and Audiobooks anywhere, anytime, on multiple devices. 

See below for information on what you’ll need in order to borrow eBooks or Audiobooks, what devices you can borrow on, and answers to common queries (read our frequently asked questions).

What do you need to borrow eBooks?

• A valid library card/login or student username & password (see Compass for login details)
• Internet access
• A compatible device to read an eBook on or listen to an Audiobook (a computer, tablet, or smartphone) within a modern web browser (eg. Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 10, Safari etc.)

How do you read eBooks or listen to Audiobooks?

The simplest way to read eBooks or listen to Audiobooks is to access the free ePlatform app. Through this app your library users can easily find your library, then access all your titles and read or listen to them via their browser – even if offline - all via their tablet or smartphone.

The app can be accessed on an iPad, iPhone, Galaxy and most other devices. Using it is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Download the ePlatform app from the Apple and Google Play app stores.
2. Look for your library and log in - you’ll only need to do this once.
3. Search for, borrow, and read or listen to any book you want!

For more information on the app and where to download it from, read our app information.

Both the ePlatform app and website allow eBooks to be read via your browser. This means users can read either online or offline, and have access to a full range of display settings so they can customise their reading experience to match their preferences. For more on this see our browser reader information.

Audiobooks can be accessed just like the eBooks, but for offline listening, you will have to download the title first. To download an Audiobook you only need the ePlatform app - no extra software is acquired. After that you can listen to your Audiobook anywhere and anytime.
