Development

Biblioscape: We are developing Biblioscape 4.0. We are very interested in adding extra modules that are highly related to bibliographic information. If you have any ideas, suggestions, please let us know.

BiblioExpress: Querying capability is one of the weak areas in BiblioExpress. We plan to change this with a more powerful querying tool. 

BiblioWeb: One of the request from BiblioWeb users is to make it a NT service, so a user won't need to login in order to start BiblioWeb. We will make it possible in the next major release of Biblioscape.

If you have feature requests or other suggestions, please email us at support@biblioscape.com
