BiblioBoard Library

biblioboard

All resources in BiblioBoard library are immediately available for unlimited, simultaneous use (no holds!). BiblioBoard Library consists of a set of smaller collections: 

  • BiblioBoard Access contains international resources and rare materials from smaller organizations that openly share their digital artifacts around the world.
  • BiblioBoard Core is a historical database covering a wide range of topics, including Literature, Philosophy, History, Geography, and Science in subject anthologies; more than 14,000 full-text ebooks; and more than 24,000 pieces of primary-source content.
  • Indie Texas is a showcase of Texas independent and small-press fiction and nonfiction authors.

Authentication is done via geolocation, so patrons physically located in Fort Bend County will not be required to log in. However, creating a profile is highly recommended so the resource can be accessed outside of the Fort Bend County area. Doing so allows users to save favorites, create bookmarks, add notes, and sync preferences across devices. 

For users not physically located within Fort Bend County, a profile will need to be created.  Go to create a profile page and fill out the form. Then, if Fort Bend County Libraries doesn't show up, go to "Add / Remove Libraries" and add it. You will then be prompted to add your library barcode (no spaces). This same profile also allows access to Pressbooks.
