How can I get help with the cloudLibrary?
The cloudLibrary support site is located at: http://www.yourcloudlibrary.com/index.php/en-us/support There you can download a cloudLibrary User Guide, watch how-to videos or search for other help topics. Your local library may also be able to help you with questions you might have. If they cannot, you can contact the Download Library using this online form.
Why did you make this switch?
Maine InfoNet and the Maine InfoNet Board of Directors are continuously looking for opportunities to provide better services at a better value for Maine libraries. The old Download Library received regular criticism that the system was too difficult to use. The cloudLibrary is app-based and has a simpler process to check out and download titles. Libraries in Maine that have offered both systems say the cloudLibrary is much easier for library patrons to use.
Additionally, the cloudLibrary will allow more Maine Libraries to participate in the Maine InfoNet Download Library. Under the old platform, we were unable to add many types of libraries, including school libraries, due to limitations imposed by the system. Now, by switching to the new 3M/Bibliotheca cloudLibrary, any library wishing to participate will be allowed to join. Allowing more libraries to join and participate in the Download Library translates directly into more people in Maine having access and more content being purchased – a great thing for all of us.
