The catalog
patrons love

BiblioCore is the foundation of everything we build, offering more accurate search results, easier borrowing and enhanced discovery pathways. Did we mention it’s also the most mobile-friendly discovery layer on the market?

Endless discovery pathways

BiblioCore’s enhanced readers advisory features — from staff created lists to suggested “while you wait” titles — ensure every patron leaves the online library with a new favorite.

 
I love the new system/catalog website. Love it! Love it love it love it! So many fantastic features - tags, reviews, lists, recommendations! My book nerd’s heart is all aflutter! Excellent work, and thank you.
— S.B., Seattle Public Library Patron
 
 

Give patrons what they’re looking for

Thanks to an advanced search relevance ranking algorithm, every result will be one patrons are expecting, even if their search queries aren’t exact. Then, our FRBR approach to search results positions their preferred format front and center.

Let patrons express themselves

BiblioCore’s enhanced readers advisory features — from staff created lists to suggested “while you wait” titles — ensure every patron leaves the online library with a new favorite.

 
The greatest thing to happen to public libraries since the card catalogue.

Many libraries, one community

Unlike any other discovery layer on the market, community-contributed content is shared across all BiblioCore libraries, creating a robust, engaged online community of library lovers.

Human-centered design

We approached accessibility on BiblioCore with one goal: to make the online library catalog as accessible to as many patrons as possible. Functional voice-over navigation, grouped search, text resizing, and more ensure every patron can browse the catalog and find what they need with ease.
