Migration from Boundless to The Palace Project
Due to the recent and abrupt closure of Baker & Taylor, the Boundless app that hosts the eRead Illinois collection is being discontinued. While a transition of this size would typically take months, we are moving quickly to ensure minimal interruption to your use of the eRead Illinois collection. In the coming weeks, the entire eRead Illinois collection will be migrated to a new, sustainable platform: the Palace Project app. The Palace Project offers benefits that will enhance library econtent collections, including the ability to aggregate e-books and audiobooks from other platforms into the Palace Project app. The Palace Marketplace also includes more favorable econtent licensing terms for libraries and access to Audible audiobook titles.
We understand this is a very fast transition, and we are working hard to preserve this valuable
resource for you.​​​
