BiblioLabs Offers Subscriptions

摘要

BiblioLabs, the Charleston, SC-based developer of the free multimedia anthology production platform BiblioBoard Creator, this spring began offering a subscription service that will allow users to download and view anthologies created by libraries and other third parties. Several institutions have already used the Creator tool to produce anthologies on topics ranging from the history of jazz in New Orleans to a biography of Daniel Samper Ortega, director of the National Library of Colombia from 1931 to 1938. Most notably, last fall, BiblioLabs developed the 19th Century Historical Books iPad app for the British Library, and the library then used BiblioBoard Creator to sustain the app by generating smaller thematic anthologies on complementary topics.
