Information about a recent update
We've had a number of queries from uLIBRARY users about the most recent update.
iOS requires a clean installation
Due to intermittent crashes upon updating the uLIBRARY app to the latest version, we recommend that iOS users perform a clean installation of the platform.
Browser download function
U-library are no longer able to allow downloads from the website due to Digital rights Management (DRM) and contracts with their publishers, therefore they have now integrated a web player. This means borrowers have faster and easier access to our purchased titles and we can now offer a much larger range of titles to our customers.
More eAudiobook titles can be found through the uLibrary website or app.
