BiblioCommons is a privately held company, based in Toronto, Canada, that develops a front end interactive catalogue and web services for libraries. Over 200 public libraries in four countries, worldwide, currently use a BiblioCommons OPAC. BiblioCore, the online catalog, integrates with existing Integrated library systems (ILSs) and creates a complete Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) replacement with intuitive searching, account integration, new tools for discovery, eBook integration, library staff recommendations, and the ability to create a community around the library collection. Other services include a mobile suite with BiblioMobile; the ability to manage web sites with dynamic web options with BiblioCMS; to integrate summer reading microsites with Biblio Summer Sites; to make public library resources available through school library catalogs with BiblioSchools; to integrate ebook lending and buying within the catalog with BiblioDigital; and to integrate event listings straight into the catalog with BiblioEvents. There are more options, modules and improvements being worked on all the time. In 2008, ''Library Journal'' called BiblioCommons "a revolutionary social discovery system for libraries". BiblioCommons has an arrangement with Knowledge Ontario. It is Knowledge Ontario's "Connect Ontario" project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.knowledgeontario.ca/Connect/index.html )〕 ==Origins== BiblioCommons did not begin life as a software company, but as a nonprofit youth literacy initiative. Co-founder Beth Jefferson was interested in the ways teens were using emerging technologies to engage with popular culture and wondered how youth literacy could be improved if a social context around reading could be established online. The perF!nk Project (Perceive. Feel. Think) that emerged won a national award from the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) and began attracting broader attention – particularly, from libraries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BiblioCommons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
