Congratulations on making it so far with your Anthology! You're almost finished. But what is this "Overview" tab you are asked to fill out in Marketing > Market Anthology?
The Anthology Overview appears as a special button on the Anthology homepage of BiblioBoard. It is accessed by clicking on this icon:
The Anthology Overview is a space that allows users a lot of freedom. For BiblioLife Anthologies or any other Anthologies with historical content centered around a certain topic, this space can be a short essay providing an overview on your topic. For non-BiblioLife anthologies, this space can be an overview of yourself or your organization. Either way, aim for 300-500 words. You are encouraged to use the heading options provided in the text field. Below are examples of how different people and organizations have used this space.
BiblioLife
This Anthology Overview comes from an Anthology about John Adams that was curated by a member of the BiblioLabs editorial team. Because it contains historical content, this Anthology Overview acted as a brief essay on the topic overall. In this case, the topic was a person, so the Anthology Overview is a biography.
Non-BiblioLife Historic
This Anthology was curated by the New York Historical Society. It was a historical Anthology on the Civil War, so the Anthology Overview contained a history of the topic, but because it was curated by an organization, they also used the space to talk more about that organization. They even opted to include an explanation of the partnership that made this Anthology possible.
Personal Creations
This Anthology was curated by a college professor who created a supplementary textbook for his students through BiblioBoard. It was for a class on Joyce and Yeats, so this Anthology Overview discusses the authors in depth. Had the professor wanted to, he could have included information on himself following the biographies; however, this Anthology was only made available to students at his college, so he opted not to.
This Anthology was also a personal creation, but this time, the curator allowed his creation to be available for purchase by any BiblioBoard subscriber. Rise of Student Activism, 1960-1963 was curated by Clayborne Carson, one of the most renowned African American historians. He chose to use this space to provide a biography of himself, rather than as an essay on the topic of his Anthology.
Organizations
This Anthology was curated by the British Library. Although it was about Iceland, the British Library chose to use this space to talk more about their organization and their partnership with BiblioBoard.
