About
Bookrathon encourages and assists the transition towards open access for books by implementing an open infrastructure service to all of its clients. We operate with numerous publishers to make a well-controlled collection of available books and provide services for publishers, libraries, and research funders in the areas of hosting, deposit, and digital preservation.
Bookrathon is an improved and extremely scalable library management system that will support you in your library streamline process. We assist patrons to find libraries easier, letting you better operate, manage and circulate the materials no matter how large or complicated the system may be.
The mission of Bookrathon is to be capable of easy access to human knowledge where ever and whenever you require it. And the initial step towards this is to build a universal library with a free-to-read, searchable collection of a million books, and that is available to everyone across the Internet. Within a few years, we expect to increase to 10 million books. The outcome will be a unique source available to anyone in the world 24/7, without regard to nationality, social or economic background.
Until now managing and transportation of our cultural heritage was dependant on a limited number of copies in fragile forms. As such the task of preservation is much bigger than before but with new digital technology, this responsibility is within the reach of a single concerted effort for the public good, and we can use this effort in libraries, museums, and other groups in all countries.

Our public access catalogue includes multiple query interfaces that appeal to each age group. Additionally we offer a highly advanced self service feature, self service checkout and return, digital resource management, reports, and equipment/asset management. Our commitment to quality stems from our original founding goal of providing you with the best service we can.
