Bibliocommons is a complete social discovery system for libraries.

We're completely re–thinking the online library experience. We've had our heads down building and delivering groundbreaking new services, transforming online library catalogues from searchable inventory systems into engaging social discovery environments.

BiblioCommons' services are designed to enable rich connections around library collections — connections between our users and the content, conversations, and communities they're most interested in.

In the process we've neglected our own home — but with our first release now live in a closed beta with our Charter Subscribers (Provincial Library Services Branch of British Columbia and Knowledge Ontario), we'll have more to share with you soon.

Here's an example of what people are saying about BiblioCommons:

… the BiblioCommons presentation was just inspiring … From what I could tell, they are just doing everything right. … It's way beyond letting people tag things and blog recommendations and stuff like that … all kinds of very forward-thinking ways of getting people connected to other people in the context of library information systems. I just thought it looked fabulous.

I attended a presentation on Friday by Beth Jefferson from BiblioCommons. I generally attend software presentations with a fairly sceptical eye. However, by the end of the presentation, I was no longer able to maintain my cynical pose. I had been shown enough cool features that in their aggregate, I knew I was looking at something pretty special. .. I don’t want to get into details really, but the BiblioCommons offering is essentially John Blyberg’s SOPAC on steroids. And the BiblioCommons team is not simply aping Amazon but have really one-upped them in a number of areas. I was impressed with the thoughfulness of a number of the features. There were certainly things I never would have come up with and Amazon has not clued into. Based on the demo I saw, I would say that this is easily the most promising opac frontend out there at this moment. If you get a chance to attend a presentation on it, I strongly urge you to do so.

Beth Jefferson of Bibliocommons was at defrag, and last night she spent a luxurious amount of time walking me through her rather amazing product: the first truly social online catalog. After you see Bibliocommons, you realize that products such as WorldCat Local and Primo are at essence 1.0 technologies, and no, tacking the ability to tag onto an OPAC doesn’t fix that problem. I won’t issue any spoilers, but…
