A big change is coming for our eBook readers and listeners at the end of September: Axis 360 will become Boundless, opens a new window! On September 18, San Mateo County Libraries will begin transitioning to the new Boundless service and Axis 360 will be phased out.
What to Know About the Change
Boundless is a new service that will replace the Axis 360 website and app. It is more than just an upgrade to Axis 360, but a whole new user interface and experience.
What You Need to Do?
You will need to download a new app and/or bookmark a new URL if you access Axis 360 via the web.
Axis 360 users will be directly notified about the transition through the Axis 360 website and mobile apps. You will continue to receive notifications about the Boundless release in their Axis 360 app and via the website until September 18.
The notifications will inform you of the upcoming change and explain the steps you will need to take. The in-app notifications will prompt readers to download the new Boundless app and provide a link for any additional help that may be needed. The website pop-up will inform users of the transition to Boundless and provide the same support link.
What will not change? All user information and history, including holds position, will be seamlessly transitioned into the new Boundless platform. Additionally, the same Axis 360 collection you know and love will still be available through Boundless. If there was something you wanted to read on Axis 360, it will still be on Boundless!
