123Library ePublishing Service for Institutions and Corporations

Colleges, Universities, and Corporations often have a large amount of courses and internal documentation that is currently being copied and handed to students and staff, a process that requires photocopy equipment, staff time and logistic organisation.

123Library now proposes an e-publishing service that allows institutions to e-Publish their documents in a high-resolution e-Book format and to distribute their material remotely, providing their users with greater availability and flexibility of access.

For a small monthly fee, institutions can enjoy all the benefits of a branded eBook production and distribution platform, without having to undertake the cumbersome and risky development of a quality eBook website.

Thanks to 123Library e-binding tools, updating and re-arranging chapters of courses and of internal documentation can be done online with little time and effort.

The publication, update, and delivery of documents becomes simple, quick, and inexpensive.
