Institutions publish knowledge.
The web buries it.

Libraries, universities, and public organizations generate valuable knowledge that is often inaccessible and underused.

We bring the value back to the web.

With ReaderPub, institutions create web publications that remain visible and useful at any time.

Institutional knowledge becoming readable and discoverable on the web

Why institutional publishing fails online

Many organizations successfully publish knowledge, but struggle to make it visible, accessible and actively used.

Discovery is limited

PDF archives are not searchable through, so users cannot find what exists.

Collections remain isolated

PDF files are not designed for easy reading on mobile devices

Discussion rarely happens

Reading happens without community, discussion or feedback loops.

Reusability is low

Knowledge remains locked in archives instead of circulating through the open web.

Value remains hidden

Important materials fail to reach the audiences they were created to serve.

The solution: ReaderPub turns knowledge into active web assets

Readable on the web

Collections can be opened directly in the browser.

Searchable and structured

Books, authors and collections become easier to find and navigate.

Connected to discussion

Readers and researchers can engage across works within a controlled-access environment.

Useful beyond storage

Institutional publishing becomes active public infrastructure, not just digital preservation.

Publish on the web without losing control. Keep your audience.

Launch catalogs, excerpts, and controlled reading programs on a public platform built for discovery — with secure, account-based access and a delivery model designed to reduce file leakage risk.

Access is fully configurable: institutions define who can read, which content is restricted, and how access is granted across users and teams.

In addition to web publishing, ReaderPub delivers a production-ready EPUB that you can archive, distribute externally, or publish on other platforms — while keeping your primary access securely managed online.

Control access at every level

ReaderPub gives institutions administrative control over publications, users, and teams — allowing you to manage access, roles, and distribution policies from a single platform.

  • Control visibility of individual publications
  • Manage internal teams and external audiences
  • Maintain oversight across your entire catalog
Learn how access control works

Built to reduce file leakage

In file-based systems, content can circulate beyond the platform after delivery. ReaderPub minimizes that risk by keeping primary reading access on the web instead of routinely distributing a complete downloadable book file.

Traditional DRM tries to control a file after delivery. ReaderPub reduces risk earlier by avoiding routine end-user delivery of the primary reading file.
