ePlatform is integrated with the Library catalogue, so that results from a search in the Library catalogue will also include matching eBooks and AudioBooks from ePlatform. This means that you can discover more items from the one search interface. From the Library catalogue you can borrow, read/listen and return items - see below for further information.
Of course, you can still go straight to the ePlatform and search. This is a great option if you are specifically looking for an eBook/AudioBook (e.g. over the holidays) or want to use the full functionality.
