What is the eGranary?

The eGranary Digital Library — “The Internet in a Box” — is an off-line information store that provides instant access to over 35 million digital resources for those lacking adequate Internet connections.

Through a process of copying web sites (with permission) and putting them on the internal networks of our partner institutions, the eGranary delivers instant access to a wide variety of educational resources including video, audio, books, journals, and websites.

The eGranary is much more than just static information: the digital library contains built-in tools for subscribers to upload and edit local materials as well as create and edit their own websites, which are stored locally.

A single eGranary, connected to a wired or wireless local area network (LAN), can serve thousands of patrons and has been adopted by over 2,000 institutions.
