One account, every library.

The same sign-in whether you borrow books or run the library. What you see afterwards depends on what your libraries have given you.

Some libraries have their own sign-in. If yours does, sign in from your library's page rather than with a password here.
The reader's side

It looks like your library, because it is.

Real screens, running under one customer's branding — a hospital library in Leeds. Every organisation gets these six steps under its own name, colour and domain.

Arriving

They arrive at an address that is yours.

The address is the library's own. The name, the colour and the languages are theirs. Nothing here says DITA — a reader has no reason to know the platform exists.

Getting in

A code on a card, or an email invitation.

No account to create before they can look. Some members are handed a printed code; others arrive already signed in through their organisation. Either way it is one screen.

Finding something

Shelves, not a search box.

Books are grouped the way a librarian would group them — by subject, by collection, by what has just arrived. Search is there for people who know what they want.

Deciding

Everything needed to choose, and one button.

Format, language, length, availability. If it is on loan, the wait is stated plainly rather than hidden behind a queue position.

Reading

Type they can actually read.

Size, spacing, typeface and a dark mode, because a lot of reading happens at night or with tired eyes. Their place in the book follows them to any device they sign in on.

Coming back

My Books remembers where they were.

Current loans, what is due, what is on hold and their own collections. Loans return themselves — nothing accrues a fine and nothing has to be handed back.

On a phone

The same six screens work on a shared tablet, a desktop in a public room, a school laptop and a reader's own phone. There is no separate mobile product to buy.
