The Platform
Library collections require more oversight than ever — but that shouldn’t consume the people who make libraries great. Bookmarked’s intelligence layer automates research, documentation, and reporting so your team can focus on what matters: getting the right books in the right hands.
The Engine Behind Everything
Every title gets an objective content profile with metadata, subject classifications, and flag data from library organizations, news outlets, and school districts — organized by source. Your team starts with context, not guesswork.
We continuously scan your collections against our database. When we have intelligence on a title, we surface it proactively — so your team has context before anyone asks. Librarians brief instead of build from scratch. Committees review instead of research.
Book Intelligence is the shared knowledge layer that makes OnShelf Review faster, OnShelf Engage smarter, and your documentation defensible.
Intelligence profiles built from publicly available information about every title — themes, reading level, content flags, and context — so your team has the research before they need it.
When a title is flagged in any district, the pattern is captured. Your district gets proactive intelligence before questions reach your door.
Book Intelligence evolves in real time. As new titles enter collections and new flags emerge across districts, the intelligence layer updates automatically.
Review Workflow
Digitize the entire book order and approval workflow — from librarian intake through board decision. Librarians collect book lists, gather evidence, route to administrators, manage review committee deliberations, parent comment periods, and board approval. Documentation happens automatically at every step.
Book Intelligence pre-populates committee briefings so your review team arrives informed. Every comment, vote, and decision is captured with timestamps. Your librarians spend time curating collections, not rebuilding paper trails.

Review committee formation, member assignments, meeting scheduling, and deliberation tracking. Every committee action documented automatically.
One-click reports for board presentations. Review status, committee recommendations, and decision history — formatted and ready to present.
Parent Transparency
Parents want to know what their kids are reading. OnShelf Engage gives them real-time visibility into what their children check in and out, book overviews with engagement questions, and the ability to restrict specific titles for their child.
When parents can see the same information your staff uses, confrontation transforms into collaboration. No more phone calls asking what a book is about. No more adversarial board meetings. Parents engage constructively with the library — and librarians get to focus on connecting students with great books.
See OnShelf EngageParents see what their child is reading as it happens. No waiting for reports, no surprises at checkout. Transparency builds trust.
Each family sets their own comfort level. Approval preferences are private and respected. Your librarians don't have to guess.
When parents have questions about a title, Book Intelligence provides the objective answer. The conversation shifts from confrontation to collaboration.
How It All Connects
When a book is analyzed once, that intelligence flows everywhere it’s needed — review committees, parent dashboards, board reports, and collection analytics. Your librarians stop duplicating research and start doing what they were trained for.
Every title your team researches manually is time they could spend matching a student with a book that changes their trajectory. Bookmarked does the research in minutes so your librarians can do what they were trained for.
