The survey is an effort to gauge awareness of the SimplyE app ? a multi-platform ebook discovery app & reader developed by New York Public Library and funded by IMLS ? and to solicit input on prioritizing features for development. Recently, the California State Library recommended, and the California Library Services Board accepted, the use of $500,000 in one-time CLSA funding towards boosting statewide availability of e-materials on enki library and laying the groundwork to facilitate the deployment of SimplyE in California. Even if you are not familiar with SimplyE and the Library Simplified project, please use the link below to lend your voice to indicate what functionality is important to you in a library-developed ebook app. There are also links in the survey to learn more about the various SimplyE efforts.
