eResource Central
eResource Central (eRC) unites all your library’s digital content in one place—our online catalog. By integrating with more content providers than any other digital content management tool, eRC brings eBooks, audiobooks, and more straight to the discovery interface your users trust, from the vendors you know best.

Easy administration
From eRC’s admin tool, staff can easily view eResource downloads, vendor accounts, and vendor collections all in one place.
More visible resources
eRC interfiles your digital results alongside physical materials in your online catalog, so your users can find your eResources after just a basic search.
Instant access
With a single click, patrons can download eBooks, mp3 files, audiobooks, and more directly from your catalog to their computer or mobile device.
1000s of titles in minutes
eRC syncs titles to your catalog quickly, without adding MARC records to your database, so your subscription eResources won’t increase your maintenance costs.
As a growing city with a tech-savvy population, Frisco has seen eBook use increase 70% in the (almost) two years since we went live with eRC. . . . In addition to the convenient user experience, we appreciate the staff time savings that eRC provides. Collection records come over seamlessly and accurately with almost no staff intervention.
