It all started in 1999. We had a vision to keep students

informed about stories that mattered– stories from home, and

from around the globe.

Now, PressReader is an award-winning platform that delivers

digital content to students in a way that makes sense to them.

We’ve partnered with thousands of publishers to bring over

7,000 trusted newspapers and magazines to a single, user-

friendly platform.

We offer 7,000+

publications available

on any device.

Offices in Dublin,

Manila, as well as a

network of global

representatives

We’re a Canadian

company

headquartered in

Vancouver.

Thinkoutside the box“Higher education is shifting because its core constituents—students— are starting to behave more like customers and are less forgiving of some of the inefficient and ineffective aspects of the academy not tailored for a strong customer experience.”

What the industry is saying

PressReader forLibraries

Download the full report here

There’s been a fundamental shift in the way

people read content. In a world where the

business models behind newspapers, magazines,

books, movies, and music have transformed to

meet drastic changes in consumer behavior—

libraries too must follow suit or be left behind.

What has changed? Well, quite a lot.

Print is facing some steep competition from the mobile

screen. And readers have never had more avenues to

discover all kinds of information.

This is no secret to librarians. A recent OCLC (Online

Computer Library) study found that most academic

librarians think their primary service (borrowing books)

will change dramatically in the next five years.

So the question remains, how can the libraries of

today adapt to the digital world of tomorrow?

That’s why we turn to other rapidly evolving industries

for answers. We pose the question to leading

businesses like Spotify, Netflix, and Whole Foods, and

our findings might just surprise you.
