A future development will see more detail added on the licence types held and what that means for the user.

If all licences are in use, a user will be presented with a message explaining the position and the options available to them (for example, a reservation).Ĭurrently, the VLeBooks platform shows how many copies of a licence a library holds. The licence on offer to users is chosen by the library based on the options available to them.

Publishers allow access to eBooks through a range of licences which dictate how many users can read a title at any one time. PDF eBooks are compatible with screen readers using an ASCII text layer.Īs more publishers are supporting EPUB and providing content in that format, we are working towards being able to offer both formats for both online reading and download. They have a fixed page size that may not work well on all devices or screen sizes/zoom levels. PDF format books have distinct pages, which allow for page-level citations. The VLeBooks platform supports PDF eBooks which are formatted to read online and support the accessibility functionality within the VLeBooks Reader. Please note, content provided in PDF format will not reflow. The platform is built with a responsive design so that it will adapt itself according to the user’s device and browser.
