Information is an important tool in today’s working life. Workplaces need up-to-date and reliable professional literature that also develops competence and thinking. Ellibs’ e-bookshelf provides businesses and organisations with the e-books that their personnel need for their work, no matter the time or place.
We offer a wide selection of professional literature in various fields, such as business, technology, and construction. We also offer an extensive range of Finnish and international fiction. Our library includes nearly 10,000 non-fiction books, and we are continuously expanding our collection in response to our customers’ requests.
Access your materials anytime, anywhere
You can read our e-books on your computer or mobile device using a reading app or the Ellibs app, and most of our selection is also available directly from your web browser. This means that our e-books are easily available to everyone in your organisation at all times, even when working remotely.
A curated collection
Our service allows businesses to tailor their own e-bookshelves. Simply choose and purchase the licences to the content you need from our online store, and the e-books are immediately added to your e-bookshelf. This way, you can build just the right kind of collection for your organisation without delay. You can also adjust the design of your e-bookshelf to match your organisation’s visual identity.
Simple to use
The use of the e-bookshelf is based on access rights: users can borrow books from your e-bookshelf for a set amount of time. This makes it easy to share and manage your books while also ensuring that your collection remains up to date.
Easy logins
Accessing your e-bookshelf is a breeze, as you can use your organisation’s own Microsoft or Google SSO logins to eliminate the need for any additional user IDs. This makes the service faster and simpler to use, and easier to roll out to a large user base.

Frequently asked questions
What apps do I need to use the e-bookshelf?
Most of our e-books can be read or listened to directly in your web browser. To read our entire selection, simply download a separate reading app (Thorium Reader) for free. You can also access all of our materials on your mobile device via the Ellibs app.
Is the service price based on the number of employees in my organisation?
The price of the service is not tied to your employee headcount; rather, it is based on an annual fee, a one-time deployment fee, and your chosen e-book licences, which form the majority of the cost of the service. For more detailed pricing information, please consult the information below.
What kinds of e-books can I purchase for my e-bookshelf?

What is an e-book licence?
Adding an e-book to your eBookshelf requires purchasing a licence that will remain valid for a set period of time. Our selection varies depending on each work – the most common licences are user-based licences, e.g. 1 user for 12 months. This means that the e-book will be added to your library for one year, and it can be borrowed by one user at a time, with no limit on the total number of borrowings.
