Content View
Click on an object’s title to open it and edit its metadata. Creator displays the object on the left-hand side of the page. On the right, Creator displays the object’s metadata information, divided up among four tabs:
- Info
- Description
- Object Info (the title of this tab will change depending on the type of object)
- Contributor Info
If you noticed that the content of any metadata field is incorrect, please correct it. All of the fields required are designated by an asterisk (*). Even if a field is not marked as required, fill in as much information as you can.

Info
Title: Enter the title of the item using proper title capitalization. (See the BiblioBoard Style Guide for more information.) This This is a required field.
Subtitle: Enter the subtitle of the item, if applicable. Use proper title capitalization. This is an optional field.
...
Highlight: Every anthology has a set of objects that we refer to as “Highlights.” These are the most interesting, popular or visually appealing objects. In Creator, you’ll choose these highlights using the "Highlight this piece of content" checkbox in the Info tab. We recommend selecting books, articles or documents as highlights, rather than image, audio or video files. For BiblioLife Anthologies, highlights should receive longer and more in-depth descriptions, eight to ten sentences in length instead of three to five. For non-BiblioLife Anthologies, the length of every description is up to the curator, but the aforementioned length requirements are still suggested.
Free: Selecting the "Make this item free" allows potential consumers using the non-Library, BiblioBoard iPad-exclusive app to view the selected object in its entirety to get a taste for the Anthology's contents. For those making anthologies that will only appear in BiblioBoard Library or that will be entirely free in the consumer product, you must still mark one object as "Free"; however, there is no need to mark more than one piece of content as "Free."
Download: The final checkbox in the info tab allows curators to control whether this piece of content will be available for download in the BiblioBoard. Here, keep in mind whether this piece of content is in the public domain or not. This checkbox will be checked or unchecked on the Anthology level as per the curator's or organization's preference, but any content-level changes to their previously indicated preference can be made with this box.

The Montgomery, Alabama Junior League’s Southern Recipes offers a nostalgic look back at the age-old tradition of local junior leagues offering cookbooks to their community.
For Highlights, Biblio-Life curators are required and non-BiblioLife curators are encouraged to enter a longer and more in-depth description. We recommend 3-5 sentences. For exampleOr:
Still a cherished tradition among many southern junior leagues, Southern Recipes is the perfect example of an early cookbook compiled by members of a community for the community. However, it’s this book’s hand-written pages and entertaining illustrations that truly take readers back to early 20th-century Montgomery, Alabama. With everything from mint cocktails to cheese balls, creole shrimp to meat loaf, and even sherbet molds to ice box cakes, this book will equip anyone with the tools they need to throw a truly southern soirée.
The above examples are italicized to draw attention to them, but in Creator, they would appear as regular text. The option of adding bold, italics and underline to any text in a description is available. These can be added at the curator's discretion for emphasis or stylized formatting. The only instances where special formatting is required is for when referring to titles of certain types of art, as per the citation requirements indicated in our style guide.
