Publish to the Web on Bloom Library​

Bloom was made for sharing! By sharing your work on BloomLibrary.org, you can make your content accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Whether you're sharing educational resources, stories, or instructional materials, publishing to the web makes your book available in multiple formats, increasing its impact.

Before You Begin​

  • Ensure you have an active internet connection.
  • Ensure that you have an account on bloomlibrary.org
  • Check your Bloom Enterprise Status if you want your book to appear in a specific Bloom Library collection.

How To Publish Your Book to Bloom Library​

  1. Click the Publish tab.
  2. Select Web**.**

  2. Select the book features you want to include by checking or unchecking the boxes in the Features section of the right-hand pane.

      remarque

      Bloom Enterprise customers can choose whether to upload a single book, the entire collection, or a folder of collections.

  1. Your book on BloomLibrary.org: Bloom will show you a link to your book’s page on bloomlibrary.org. Click the link, and Bloom will open your web browser and navigate to the page. There you can view and manage your book.

Updating a book on Bloom Library​

If Bloom Library already has a book with the same ID number, you must specify whether the book you are uploading is an update to the existing book, or a different book.

  • Choose Yes, I want to update this book if your book is a new version of the book that is already in Bloom Library. Your new book will replace the older version.

  • Choose No, these are different books if you are uploading a different book. Bloom will assign a new ID number to your book and add it to the library. The older book will remain in the library.

Managing Your Published Books on bloomlibrary.org​

You can manage your book from the bloomlibrary.org site. You can…

  • Set or clear the “Draft” status of a book
  • Show or hide which download formats are available to others (PDF, ePUB, or BloomPUB).
  • Delete your book from Bloom Library.

Note that you must be logged in to your bloomlibrary.org account to manage your book. For more details see My Books.
