BiblioLabs, LLC is a hybrid software-media company, with a focus on using scalable technology to enable curators and subject matter experts to discover, enhance and create new works from the wealth of licensed, open source and public domain materials available within our core database. We work with leading organizations around the world to create widespread commercial access to rare and interesting materials in both print-on-demand and digital formats. We operate multiple publishing imprints, including our own, and create our own branded Apps and Apps with content partners.
BiblioLife is our “curation imprint” — representing the Apps created by our own network of curators and subject matter experts. As curation of multi-media content becomes more important, BiblioLife represents a new way of reading and interacting with books and other items from our past. They feature books, articles, photos, modern commentary, and videos that provide context to history. In addition to our own imprint, we also power branded multi-media Apps for some of the world’s most important cultural institutions.

Tens of millions of historical artifacts have been digitized and made available on the web, resulting in a corpus of historical material that is truly stunning in its breadth and scope. Within this corpus are hidden millions of ideas, people, and places that have been largely lost or forgotten. BiblioBoard is a global publishing effort to curate and share these materials with the communities that are interested in them. BiblioBoard is the unified interface where curators will meet readers and this will happen across tens of thousands of books, articles and images within hundreds of curated niche Apps.

Only books that have been placed on your bookshelf can be read offline. To add books to your bookshelf you must be online either via wifi, or 3G. Once online, select the book you would like to read. In the upper right you will see a plus sign that will allow you to “add to bookshelf.” The book will then start to download directly to your bookshelf. Once the book has fully downloaded you will then be able to read it offline. You can store up to 20 books on your bookshelf at any time for offline reading.
Occasionally issues arise with the application that can be easily solved by restarting the application. To do this, you will need to press the iPad home button twice. This will bring up a menu at the bottom of the screen with all currently running applications. Find the British Library app and press and hold for 1-2 seconds on the icon. A red minus sign will appear and you can press this to stop the application from processing. Keep in mind this does not delete the app, only stops it from processing. Then go back to your home screen and re-open the application.
If the above action does not remedy your situation, you may need to re-install the application. To do this, you will need to first delete the application by pressing on the icon on you home screen for 1-2 seconds. A red X will appear allowing you to delete the app. Try re-installing the app to determine if your problem was resolved.
Please e-mail us if you continue to have problems. We will continue to troubleshoot your problem until it is fixed.
