The IBUK Libra platform makes it possible to significantly expand and diversify library resources by providing easy access to tens of thousands of publications. Thanks to it, they not only become larger, but also more modern, thus more attractive to the audience.

The service effectively popularizes reading, increasing the number of potential readers. E-books can be read online around the clock, without leaving home. Its modern form appeals to the younger generation, which is increasingly reaching for digital literature. Moreover, it helps reduce exclusion in access to knowledge since the platform can be used on all computers and mobile devices connected to the Internet - not only private ones, but also those of libraries, universities, etc.

Access to analytical tools and statistics helps adequately adjust library resources. In this way it is possible to monitor reading needs in real-time. In addition to that, the cooperation framework includes the continuous care of a dedicated consultant and a technical support package. The platform is also free from such problems as holding books or losing or destroying volumes. The sharing process also does not involve library staff as much as the paper book lending process

The platform also contributes to countering illegal practices involving the unauthorized photocopying or scanning of books. The service provides readers of a given library with free, fully legal, and round-the-clock access to scientific, popular science and fiction publications.

Libraries today are modern institutions with a real impact on the development of science, culture, and social life. Their employees are dynamically changing their image, following trends and progressive digitization. IBUK Libra allows you to quickly modernize your library, develop its digital resources and provide an infrastructure for their use adapted to the needs of a wide range of users.
