For librarians just learning about SimplyE, the library content “one app to rule them all,” Amigos is presenting training sessions; even librarians more familiar with the app can learn from a refresher. RF can vouch for Amigo’s commitment to and expertise in deploying the app. The app itself is the best realization so far of the principles on which RF was founded. We encourage exploration of the app, and Amigos is making it easy.

From Amigos:

SimplyE gathers ebooks and audiobooks from multiple vendors into a single, easy-to-use interface for your patrons. Instead of using a different app for each e-content service, patrons (and your library staff) need only use one.

An open source solution - if your library has the technical expertise - you could host SimplyE yourself. If not, Amigos is available as one of the official hosting providers and will host for libraries across the United States. Contact us for more information!

App Interface & Searching: An introduction and deep dive into how the SimplyE interface looks and how it works. What are the differences between the iOS and Android apps? Why do the books show up in the order they do? Can I search by phrase? We will go over all this and more.
