External metadata sources

Metadata can be loaded on material edit page or during import process using SEBLib import wizzard. To manage metadata provider see your metadata account page.

Easy to use

SEBLib is intuitive and simple. It is designed to be used by all members of your team / company. Everyone can manage their material without any professional librarian experience.

With a user-friendly search, you can find the desired material either by standard SharePoint full text search inside attached content or in a more advanced way by specifying various predefined metadata fields (author, title, category, location etc...)

SEBLib user experience is the same as with the rest of your SharePoint sites. Use of standard SharePoint elements allows fast learning and easy adoption since users are already familiar with your SharePoint intranet portal.

The library can be accessed with a web browser without any additional installations on the client computer.

Distributed managment of material

In business organizations, material is often distributed among various teams as opposed to the classical library where material is stored in a central location – on library shelves. Lack of a central catalogue of purchased material limits material availability to closed groups of people. SEBLib material can be managed by people who use it most. At the same time, material remains available to everyone inside the organization.

Every user can manage his material and is responsible for its loan. This can be a step forward to sharing knowledge and networking among otherwise isolated teams inside an organization.

Mobile app for Android

Using SEBLib mobile app you can catalogue your books anywhere. Scan an ISBN number, retrieve metadata and take a photo of a book cover. It also works in offline mode, so you do not need internet connection all the time.

SEBLib integration into corporate intranet makes users aware of the library on every portal visit. Its simple use allows everyone to contribute their valuable material either from office desks or from the internet.
