eBooks and Wheelers ePlatform. The Bathurst High Campus library is part of the Bathurst High Learning Commons on the upper floor of the original Bathurst High building. The Learning Commons is a range of flexible learning spaces for teaching and learning. New furniture is replacing the older traditional library chairs and tables. In 2014, in response to the changing of students, availability and cost of books the Bathurst High Campus library set about reorganising the book stock and spaces. As part of the reorganisation the Learning Commons was established and replacing physical books an eBook lending platform was purchased. The library now employs an ePlatform developed by Wheelers, a New Zealand company. This platform also used by the town library run by Bathurst Council. It is widely used and good value with local support. The Bathurst High Campus eBook platform can be found with the following link: . We have so added a few hundred books and hope to add many more by the end of October. The range has been chosen to appeal to students but we have also added some classics and non-fiction. The eBooks may be read on tablets, smartphones and computers. Anyone in the school community may register to use the ePlatform. The registration process at this stage involves an online application that notifies library staff that you are interested. Once it is verified that you are a student, teacher or carer your application will be accepted. The eBooks are loaned for 2 weeks and may be re-borrowed. The eBooks are borrowed from the website and may be read in a web browser or in an app. The apps are available for Android, iOS and Windows. At the end of the loan period the eBook drops off your device. The library has 10 Samsung 7” tablets that may be used for reading eBooks in the library space. They may also be used for browsing the internet and there are some games available to play. The library is happy to have people suggest books or subjects to be obtained for the eBook platform.
