VLB-TIX

The new title announcement service for the German publishing industry has been developed by NEWBOOKS Solutions and MVB, the company that produces the VLB (German books in print) catalogue.

VLB-TIX provides access to title data contained in the NEWBOOKS and VLB databases as well as a host of options for the enhanced presentation of new publications.

Approval Plan System

Generates targeted selections of new publications by subject area, which booksellers can make available to their library customers via their own frontend.

Libraries can place orders and run automatic checks against their OPAC records - also includes the supply of MARC 21 data for each title ordered.
