The purpose of this thesis is to research Axiell media's Biblio application in public libraries in Sweden. The aim is to see the perspective and opinions of librarians who work with the application to better understand how public libraries have handled the Biblio app. Additionally the current COVID-19 situation that was ongoing when the thesis was written was also picked up as part of the research to see how electronic media is used as an alternative during a time where going to the library was discouraged.Access as a concept is the theory. It was used to better understand how the application is used to give users the best possible access to electronic media. Specifically the dimension of access found in Penchansky & Thomas (1981) and Saurman (2016). We have utilized five of them. The method chosen was semi-structured interviews. These interviews were done through a digital platform with five libraries. The results were then analysed and viewed through the different dimensions of access. The result showed that the libraries had picked up the Biblio app through an already existing collaboration with Axiell media (former Elib). And that the application has gotten better with time, but there are concerns both with the application itself, but also how to tackle the difficulties some users experience. Not all people are used to digital technology.
