The NEWBOOKS DATA HUB is a central metadata and integration platform for the book and media industry. It brings together more than 50 million national and international title and product records from leading data sources such as VLB, Libri, Libri.Digital, Libri International including Ingram, Zeitfracht, Nielsen BookData and ProQuest, as well as proprietary and other data sources. The data is consolidated, enriched and quality-assured for reliable use across digital applications and channels.

High-quality metadata is the foundation for making books and media visible, discoverable, recommendable and procurable. Through standardized and individually configurable interfaces, we automatically deliver metadata to webshops, ERP and PIM systems, eLibraries, e-procurement platforms, search engines, AI platforms and digital sales and procurement channels.

Together with publishers, we analyze and optimize product metadata to meet the current technical and structural requirements of leading search engines and AI platforms. We structure the data, transform it into the required formats and distribute it automatically. This helps titles become discoverable and recommendable across the next generation of product search.

Based on this data infrastructure, we develop digital solutions for publishers, booksellers and specialist media retailers, libraries and library consortia, library and corporate media suppliers, businesses and public authorities. These include AI-powered search, professional metadata management, Shopify webshops with automated ONIX and VLB integration, approval plan systems and digital acquisition solutions, as well as e-procurement for professional media purchasing.

Our portfolio also includes journal and online database solutions, data feeds for digital licensed products, editorially enriched metadata and interfaces to publishing, ERP and library systems. With new-title alert services and recommendation lists, we help booksellers and specialist media retailers inform their customers automatically and selectively about relevant new releases.

In this way, we connect metadata, discoverability, AI, e-commerce and procurement into seamless digital processes. Publishers increase their visibility and reach, retailers expand their digital offering, and professional customers gain fast and efficient access to the media and information they need.
