Microsites
Create low cost and scalable microsites with bespoke themes, features, permissions and content.
Community
Ability to build community around the content. Features such as posting status updates and content creation (such events, news, blogs and images). The Librios platform allows users and places to make friends and connect or follow one another and they can also send direct messages to one another or post into threaded discussions and comment.
Event management
Events can be created and searched on via a variety of metadata including date range. A calendar view allows for easy navigation. Attendance can be purchased by the user or on behalf of other colleagues in the same company. If different types of tickets are needed, these can be created, sold and managed via the site.
Pre-configured content types
Within the platform there are many content types which have already been pre-configured and integrated with creation, searching and re-purposing. Blogs, news, discussions, jobs and groups can all be created, commented upon and shared to social networking sites.
Learning
The Librios platform allows for content to be styled and treated as learning material. This can be incorporated with CPD points and displayed on leader boards.
Additional services
As content can be structured in a range of ways, we also offer additional services using the expertise of a number of partners. These partners have specific skills in bringing content of different forms into the Librios platform and producing beautiful typeset output.
Content conversion & import options
The Librios platform can also import content directly from EPUB, XML, HTML using pre-defined filters. We can provide additional conversion services to allow your content to meet these filters and flow onto the platform (including conversion from InDesign and PDF formats)
InDesign typesetting & EPUB styling
In addition to the features on the platform (the ability to upload your own InDesign templates and EPUB CSS files) we offer more advanced production services, if required, for taking the InDesign output from the Librios platform and applying your templating ready for book production or EPUB output and apply custom styling (CSS).
