Remote Patron & In-Library Access
Patrons who read to expand their horizons, and particularly book club members, will love having full access to BookBrowse's easy-to-use resources to guide them to the books they'll love - from any device at anytime; and when they find a book that interests them, they can check availability in the library's OPAC with one click.
No log in is required within the library as BookBrowse recognizes the library's IP numbers. For remote access, libraries have the choice of authenticating patrons themselves (e.g. EZ Proxy) or BookBrowse can handle the authentication (based on standard parameters of the library's card numbers).
We recommend having BookBrowse authenticate your patrons (which can be a hybrid option in conjunction with EZ Proxy) because our unique login-free access system allows librarians to link direct to any page on BookBrowse, and to install apps into the library's website so patrons can start browsing without needing to log in (for example, to find read-alikes or browse book club recommendations).
Pricing is based on a library's service population, for example:
Population 4,000: $290 annually; population 45,000: $1030 annually.
