Baker and Taylor has signed a deal with Reciprocal to develop a \”digital library and content delivery system\” for B&T\’s client libraries:
Baker & Taylor has signed an exclusive multiyear deal with digital infrastructure provider Reciprocal to deliver books in electronic form to thousands of B&T\’s client libraries.
Under the agreement, Reciprocal will build a digital library and content-delivery system for the library market to the specifications of Baker & Taylor\’s Informata e-commerce business unit. Content will be delivered to libraries as part of a digital subscription service provided by Informata, enabling library patrons to browse e-books online or download and check them out of the library for specified periods. Baker & Taylor and other wholesalers will sell digital content through Informata\’s subscription service to libraries for their patrons\’ use, and Reciprocal will resell content in markets that Baker & Taylor does not currently serve.
