Finding your library

Once you have installed the ePlatform App onto your device, the first step is to find your library.

You will be prompted to "Find Your Library" or if you look in the Home screen menus you will see you can add a library from there as well.

As we have many libraries sometimes you need to try a few variations of the library name to find it. A quick way is just to use the most unique word in the library name.

Looking for a book in your library

To find a book in your eLibrary there are many options.

You can:

• browse eBooks and Audiobooks by clicking on the "Browse"-icon at the bottom of your screen,
• look for a specific book via the search field
• use the "advanced search" function to look for books via title, ISBN, author or publisher

If your book does not show up, you can request the book at your library.

Looking for a new book to read or to listen to?

Tapping on the "Browse" icon at the bottom of your screen will take you straight to the catalogue of your library and allow you to browse eBooks and Audiobooks in different categories and collections.

If you scroll down, you will find different categories to browse in as well as filters you can add to specify the range of books being displayed.

Eg: I'd like to filter the titles by 'Available Now'.

You can choose the order of the books shown in your catalogue by selecting one of the options (e.g. Most Popular, Recently Added, etc.) which your can find in the top right corner of the screen indicated with "Sort".
