Encounter
A reader finds an article on the open web.
Eezy Reading helps people move from the news story they are already reading to the licensed copy their public library may already provide.
Libraries invest in trusted journalism, but patrons often meet that journalism on search, social media, email, or the open web.
A reader finds an article on the open web.
The publisher asks for a subscription.
The reader must know which library database to open.
Coverage, titles, feeds, and timing can differ by provider.
Eezy Reading identifies the publication and available article details, even when a paywall limits the page.
It connects the article to the library’s preferred licensed resource and supported authentication path.
The library or database serves the content. If a match is delayed or unavailable, the goal is a useful explanation—not a dead end.
We’ll show how Eezy Reading recognizes an article, identifies the library route, and guides a patron toward licensed access. Public libraries can also discuss joining the design-partner pilot.
