Libraries can order content for Axis 360 via Baker & Taylor’s selection and acquisitions website, Title Source 360. Libraries can turn on Patron Recommendations so they can respond to requests for titles.
Axis 360 APIs integrate with ILSs and discovery layers, allowing patron interactions to occur directly in the library catalog. Patrons can use the mobile app (or the browser-based Read Now or Listen Now options for ebooks and audiobooks, respectively) to view the library’s collection, check out titles, and read them.

Library ebook vendors sign contracts with publishers to get books delivered to their platforms and then sell their licenses to public libraries at the prices the publishers set.
