Some libraries that use PressReader every day
Quality sources
Premium titles patrons actuallywant to read
Your visitors want seamless access to the information they need. They shouldn’t have to search through outdated papers, unreliable sources, and old databases. With PressReader, your patrons get instant access to the editorial content they know and trust. Easy search tools help them quickly sort through to the pieces they’re looking for.
From The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, El Pais and El Figaro, to Newsweek, Vogue, Bloomberg Businessweek, and People, PressReader delivers full issues of premium newspapers and magazines the moment they hit newsstands.
Global and multicultural
Finally, a platform as diverse as your patrons
Your visitors come from all over: different communities, different countries, different languages, different interests. Offering a wide variety of content that speaks to every demographic can be tough – especially with the steep costs of international paper deliveries and the hours you can spend sourcing titles from all over the globe.
Luckily, we’ve done that work for you. With publications from over 120 countries in more than 60 different languages, your patrons get instant access to content from home, and from around the world.
Setup and authentication
Innovative, not difficult
When your library joins the PressReader network, we make setup as simple as possible. PressReader requires no installation, and little maintenance, so we can open the digital doors immediately. We also offer complimentary staff training to help you make the most of our partnership.
We also offer a variety of industry standard authentication methods like IP and EZ Proxy, as well as SIP2 and OpenAthens. For a more intricate solution like an app or email integration, members of your tech and marketing teams may be required.
PressReader is a very well-used resource. Our customers can enjoy digital newspapers as they appear in a newspaper in print with color, photographs and features such as ads and a crossword puzzle. We used to only have black and white text-based databases, which are boring and meant for research. But PressReader can appeal to readers of popular materials, not just to students doing academic research, so it changes the use of digital resources. This one is popular. It attracts more people in the community.Ping He
