WorldLibrary gives your members a reading collection that is not limited by shelf space
More titles than your shelves hold, open all hours
WorldLibrary is a digital library platform. It gives a library a collection of eBooks, audiobooks, articles and other learning materials that members read and listen to online.
Global tools. Local licensing and support.

CE-Logic licenses the tool locally and sets it up with your library, so your users reach the content it holds, your librarians put it in front of the right people, and the institution gets sources it can stand behind.
What goes into one subscription
What WorldLibrary is
- eBooks and audiobooks
- Reference and heritage works
- Online reading and listening
A collection of books, audiobooks and articles, read and listened to online, so a library's holdings do not stop at what fits on a shelf or at the hours the building is open.
The collection reaches past popular reading. It carries reference and heritage works, dictionaries and encyclopedias among them, works from every field of study, and resources built to support instruction from the elementary level through postgraduate study. That range is what lets the platform sit next to a library's research subscriptions instead of competing with them, and it gives a member who came in for one title somewhere to go after it.
Who it is for
Public and community libraries, school learning resource centers, and academic libraries that want general reading material alongside their databases. It also fits an institution whose instructional programs need reading and listening material rather than journals.
The person deciding is usually the librarian or the head of the learning resource center, and the question on the table is coverage and access rather than features. A member who cannot come to the building is the case that settles it.
What is inside
- eBooks and audiobooks
- Reference and heritage works
- Online reading and listening
- eBooks, audiobooks and articles in one collection
- Audiobook titles supplied as MP3 files
- Reference and heritage works, including encyclopedias and dictionaries
- Works across every field of study, alongside resources for instruction from elementary to postgraduate level
- Online reading and listening, so a member is not tied to a branch or to opening hours
- A collection that lives online, so a library with no room for more shelves can still offer more titles
Getting access in the Philippines
CE-Logic brings WorldLibrary to Philippine institutions and works with your library on the subscription and on access for your members. Tell us who your members are and what your shelves are short of, and CE-Logic will scope it with you.
If your collection also includes scholarly books and journals, Emerald Publishing covers that ground, and Statista covers the data questions your business programs ask. Both sit alongside WorldLibrary on CE-Logic Research and Information Solutions, the group's library and research portfolio.
How CE-Logic Implements WorldLibrary: The Navigate Framework
A license is not adoption. CE-Logic uses the Navigate framework to make sure the resource gets adopted, reaches the right people, and stays tied to institutional goals.
01
Discover
We look at what your programs, research offices and students need to reach, and how your library handles access today, before a subscription is placed.
02
Align
We match the coverage to the programs, research areas or agency mandates it has to serve, so the subscription has a reason to exist.
03
Activate
We set up authentication and library links before launch, and start with the librarians and faculty who will use it first.
04
Sustain
Ongoing support from CE-Logic after launch, with usage reviewed against the programs the subscription was bought for, so renewal is a decision on evidence.
Navigate is the C&E ALS framework for turning a licensed resource into research your institution actually uses. Read about C&E ALS Navigate.
Questions libraries ask before licensing WorldLibrary
Can we evaluate WorldLibrary before we subscribe?
Contact CE-Logic to arrange a free trial or a demo, and bring the titles your members ask for. The session is set up with your library so your reviewers see the collection against those requests rather than a generic tour, and you can judge coverage before deciding anything.
How do we request a quote for WorldLibrary access?
Use the Contact Us page at ceals.ph/contact-us/ and tell CE-Logic who your members are and what your shelves are short of. Scoping, setup and support then run through Navigate, CE-Logic's framework for turning a license into use your library can point to.
Can readers use WorldLibrary from home?
Yes. The collection is read and listened to online, so a member needs the login your library issues and an internet connection, not a visit to the branch. CE-Logic arranges the logins and library links with you before launch.
What titles and subjects are in the WorldLibrary collection?
The collection holds eBooks, audiobooks and articles. Alongside popular reading it carries reference and heritage works, encyclopedias and dictionaries among them, titles across every field of study, and material for instruction from the elementary level through postgraduate study. Audiobooks are supplied as MP3 files.
Is WorldLibrary meant for schools, colleges, or both?
Both. Schools use it in their learning resource centers, colleges and universities use it for general reading beside their research subscriptions, and public libraries use it for members who cannot come to the building. The material runs from elementary level to postgraduate study, so both ends of an institution are served by the same collection.
Is WorldLibrary the same product as the World Public Library?
The vendor's own site is titled World Public Library, while CE-Logic sells the collection as WorldLibrary, so the two names point at the same platform. The vendor also runs separate collections under its own titles, so confirm with CE-Logic which collection your subscription opens.
