Expand your library’s digital presence, reach new readers, and cultivate connections within your community. BLUEcloudVisibility+ converts MARC records to linked data, increasing the discoverability—and shareability—of your library’s catalog on the open web.
Extend your library’s reach by transforming existing MARC records into linked data. With BLUEcloud Visibility+, linked data is incorporated into the Library.Link network and published straight to the open web. From there, readers anywhere can discover your library and browse your collection—and registered library patrons can begin borrowing.
Working directly with Google, we ensure your library’s data flows into multiple high-visibility destinations, including Google Search, Google Books, Google Get Books, and Google’s What to Read. Actionable borrow links in Google are now available in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S.
Our syndication partners don’t just amplify your library’s search relevance; they enable users to select the library location and book format of their choice—and drive users back into your catalog. There, they can complete the self-checkout process for electronic resources, or place holds on physical copies.
Use data to create dynamic carousels, grids, and lists that can be embedded on your library’s website, published on social media channels, or shared with community partners. Equipped with book jackets and a “Borrow” button, each display links back to your library’s catalog, regardless of where it’s featured on the web.
Tap into the Library.Link network to evaluate and enhance your library’s collection. On this collaborative open data platform, you can curate and share custom lists of ISBNs and hot topic concepts, conduct gap analysis while browsing the work of peers, and repurpose lists from thousands of libraries across the globe.
Measure your library catalog’s web traffic and easily relay statistics to administration and partners. The BLUEcloud Visibility+ administrative interface provides you with a dashboard view of your linked data as well as a breakdown of user transactions by channel. For a deeper dive into BLUEcloud Visibility+ web traffic, a monthly downloadable .CVS file is available.
