Exciting new features are coming to DBL, while existing features are getting even easier to use.

A Global Experience

Get ready for a more accessible and global DBL experience. We've made key updates to help everyone, everywhere.

New Domain

We're excited to announce that DBL is moving to a new, easy-to-remember domain name: "library.bible" Don't worry, the current domain will still work and redirect you to the new one.

Multilingual Support

DBL is going global. The new platform will be available in English, French, and Spanish, with more languages on the way.

Flexible Access

The new platform is designed for flexible access, wherever you are.

Membership to DBL

For the first time, individuals can now create their own accounts to browse and download open-access content. No longer just for organizations, DBL is opening its doors to everyone.

For organizations, joining DBL has never been easier. Our new Member Application guides you step-by-step through the process. Plus, we've simplified our membership typesw: what used to be called IPCs are now 'Contributors,' and LCHs are now 'Distributors.' These changes make it easier for everyone to understand and engage with DBL.

Updated Experience

Finding and exploring content is now easier thanks to a user-friendly interface that shows more details for each entry. For organizations, our Member Community section has a fresh look, offering updated profile views to help you connect better. And when it comes to managing licenses, a License section now highlights templates and agreements, making it simpler to handle your licenses within DBL.

Developer Friendly

We’re rolling out a brand-new, feature-rich API, along with straightforward documentation to help you get started. Whether you’re an experienced developer or just beginning, integrating DBL into your projects is now easier than ever.

We’re especially eager to connect with innovative translation and engagement platforms looking to integrate. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you. You can help shape the future of our API design and integration approach.

Integrations

We've made improvements in how DBL integrates with key tools like Paratext to deeper reporting capabilities for ProgressBible. Additionally, we've upgraded our integration platform to soon allow content uploads from other partners and translation tools.

Modern Technology

We've made significant investments to enhance DBL's infrastructure for better scalability and adaptability. The platform has been redesigned to intelligently scale up or down based on real-time needs.

In addition, we're introducing a new data warehouse to better manage and analyze the extensive data stored within DBL. This not only allows for easier future upgrades and adjustments but also ensures the platform's stability for the long term.

Enhanced Care

Equipped with centralized support tools, the team has launched our first comprehensive user documentation to help you get more from the new DBL. Visit care.library.bible to explore guides, terminology, and onboarding support designed to simplify every step of your DBL journey.
