eRead Illinois Transition from Boundless to Palace Project
by SWAN Communications 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

To member libraries, SWAN has begun the process of removing Boundless records from the library catalog and the SWAN Libraries+ app. As of November 2, patrons are no longer able to checkout new material from Boundless. This is to ensure that patrons do not have titles checked out when the Boundless app is retired for the eRead Illinois collection. Important Dates * November 17: The Boundless app will be retired for eRead Illinois * November 17-December 1: Migration of content to Palace Project * December 2: The Palace Project app will go live with the eRead Illinois collection. Patrons may begin downloading the app and signing in. Support SWAN has additional information that you may refer to here: eRead Illinois Transition from Boundless to Palace Project<https://swanlibraries.net/news/2025-10/95011>. The eRead Illinois website also has a page regarding the transition: 2025 Boundless Transition FAQ<https://ereadillinois.com/transition>. There are two upcoming webinars that will be hosted by Lyrasis regarding the move to Palace Project for library staff: * Monday, November 10, at 11 a.m.<https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/W90o7ldxSUO42vjbQbmfbQ> * Thursday, November 13, at 2 p.m.<https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/gwU2hnpgRQiyWyZae4UmPw> Any additional questions or concerns?
