You can submit a bug report within the app by going to your profile view and clicking the report icon on the top left.

Site Issues

Why are some of the slides in the medical lectures blurred or blank?

Due to copyright issues, there may be some slides shown as blank in the medical lecture videos.

Video/audio doesn’t seem to synchronize.

Most often audio/video synchronization issues are related to your internet connection which can slow down depending on local usage patterns. Try to watch the video in a different browser, on a different device, or hard-refresh your current browser. You can also try manually changing the resolution of the video to a lower resolution. If you notice the problem is only with a single newly published video and not with multiple videos or videos that were previously normal, please let us know by submitting a ticket or email us at support@giblib.com.

Miscellaneous

Where does the name GIBLIB come from?

The name GIBLIB was inspired by Dr. John Heyshom Gibbon, the revolutionary surgeon and inventor of the heart-lung machine. 

GIB - in honor of his last name, Gibbon
LIB - short for Library

Combine those together and you get GIBLIB.
