CloudLibrary^™ lets libraries build and share ebook and eaudiobook collections and provide library users access to digital magazines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, and manga.

CloudLibrary’s unique content sharing program, CloudLink^™, is a budget-friendly way to expand the breadth and depth of your ebook and eaudiobook collection. You’ll increase circulation of lesser-used titles, and decrease hold times on popular materials by working with other CloudLink libraries in your state.

Your users will love having access to popular content with shorter hold times. And they can binge all the magazines, comics, and manga they want with unlimited, simultaneous access.

Offer instant access to millions of ebooks and eaudiobooks with our streamlined app. Users can also benefit from neighboring libraries’ collections through CloudLink, allowing you to affordably expand your digital offerings and meet users’ needs with reduced waiting times.

Collective Collection

A Collective Collection refers to the shared resources of multiple libraries, archives, and museums. Collective Collections can be leveraged to benefit all institutional stakeholders, including researchers, scholars, students, and patrons.

OCLC Research’s Collective Collection work provides evidence and insight to support decision-making into how cultural heritage institutions organize shared collections and services. Through this work, OCLC Research is helping to create a more connected, collaborative landscape for libraries, archives, and museums, with the goal of making collections more accessible, impactful, and cost-efficient.
