Canada's 3M Cloud Library will offer the same easy-to-use customer interface and back-end tools, and will include content from major publishers including Penguin, Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, and HarperCollins.

In addition, the catalog includes hundreds of other publishers, offering readers access to thousands of titles. 3M is also currently working with House of Anansi Press, Dundern Press, ECW Press and others to bring readers content from uniquely Canadian voices.

The 3M Cloud Library's new automated buying tool allows librarians to purchase hold lists automatically and easily manage all expiry content. This new, fully customizable tool will help reduce the time required from library staff to manage their collections.

"We know that libraries are looking for every possible way to help staff members use their time most efficiently, so we're constantly implementing Cloud Library tools to automate work and give more time back to librarians," said Tom Mercer, 3M Cloud Library marketing manager.

"The automated buying tool is a powerful and customizable way for each library to manage its eBook collection and free up time for other tasks."
