Baker & Taylor, which is the world’s largest book distributer, has developed a
new digital media distribution platform for libraries. The new platform, Axis 360, is being shown off at the American Library Association’s Annual Conference currently happening in New Orleans.
Axis 360 will promote the use of the Blio ereading software, which currently only works on Windows computers. But B&N and B&T have announced a collaboration that will result in Nook ereaders also being supported by Axis 360-powered libraries.
Beginning this fall libraries can use Axis 360 to offer both audiobooks and ePub books to their patrons. The system will also include full-text book reviews from the Library Journal and School Library Journal.
