“Incorporating a full print-on-demand facility and well-laid out front and back-end editing tools, Librios goes further than most content management systems. Also significant is the nature of the company itself and how clearly its development points to the future of publishing.”
From EPS Insights: Librios: Content Management System or Next Generation Publisher?
“The system was very easy to use, and as a newcomer to databases I was up and running within an hour of being introduced to the system on the most basic data input level. Readily available support from Librios meant that as the project progressed we learned more and more and so could soon solve problems ourselves.”

“The Librios team understood instantly what I was trying to achieve because they have extensive experience of publishing. From a standing start we were able to construct not only the book, all 1,000 pages of it, but also the accompanying website in a matter of weeks. This was remarkable. The single most important thing was being able to work closely with people who really understand publishing.”
Mic Cady, Commissioning Editor, David & Charles
“The Librios system has significantly flattened the workload for member companies throughout the annual production cycle of the book. The new website has strengthened NOAH’s relationship with key allies, and their perception of NOASH as a trusted source of information. It has increased availability of high quality information on medicines to farmers and the public.”
Phil Sketchley, Chief Executive, National Office Of Animal Health (NOAH)
“Librios has revolutionized our approach to print and online publishing”

“Librios is our new publishing system and its capabilities include e-books as well as automated typesetting and print on demand – subscribers to our ‘GMB Research’ website are now able to compile customised selections of content as personalised PDFs or print on demand books.”
Peter Chadwick, CEO, GMB Publishing
“Librios has proved a base for SCHIN’s push forward for a number of reasons. Its robust, simple model was aligned to the content structures and classification that SCHIN required. It was XML-based: semantic make-up is the critical requirement for network publishing knowledge management. A publishing environment based on “rapid iterative prototyping” – making mistakes and correcting them – is clearly important. With Librios on board SCHIN is now a fully-fledged network publisher in the NHS context. As their skills base moves past that of conventional publishers in the sector … they will become a model Web 2.0 publisher.”

“The first benefit was a clear cost saving. The second comes from having data in a content management system. I think the benefit that’s the most interesting one is that having this content management system is actually forcing us to think about different ways of putting the content together in the first place. Going electronic throws up all kinds of new models, but it’s the sales and marketing apparatus underneath that’s the expensive bit and that’s what people forget.”
Jonathan Glasspool: Publishing Director A & C Black
“What we’ve also been able to do with Librios … is get all the content management in the background, that is, you’re typing into something that looks like a standard document but actually it’s got all the structure and all the tagging in there and to get that together with the track changes functionality was quite an advanced thing. Once you have got the data in there it is just ‘data with tags’ so it’s not tied to just one typesetting system and from the Librios platform you can output in a way that is compatible with different systems.”
Martin Dowling Database Manager A & C Black
“...the concept of the Librios product is excellent... Realising value from your content is crucial to implementing CM systems, and we recommend that organisations working in a knowledge-based environment, where content publishing forms an integral part of the operation, should evaluate the Librios concept closely.”
