eGO Information Session

eGO Information Session

eGO CT is a project from the Connecticut State Library that includes acquiring digital content, such as eBooks and eAudio, and making it available to users statewide, primarily through the SimplyE app. At this information session, we'll review the background of the project, download and explore the SimplyE app, demonstrate the Circulation Manager, and talk about when and how you can roll out the SimplyE app to your patrons.

SimplyE will allow you and your patrons to simultaneously search the statewide eBook and eAudio collections in RBdigital, Baker and Taylor, and the Digital Public Library as well as your local library eBook and eAudio​ collections that you have with any of the vendors above plus Overdrive. SimplyE does not replace other apps and can be used in tandem with them. You and your patrons can continue using RBdigital, Overdrive, or any of the other apps as you wish.
