The NEWBOOKS Approval Plan System enables library suppliers and consortia to provide their customers with personalised, data-driven acquisition recommendations based on individual collection profiles and comprehensive bibliographic metadata.

Instead of manually searching through thousands of new titles, libraries receive a relevant, pre-selected range of publications tailored to their specific subject areas and acquisition strategies.

The Right Titles. The Right Libraries. Automatically.

Each library defines its own acquisition criteria and subject profiles. The system continuously matches these requirements against extensive bibliographic databases and delivers targeted title recommendations at defined intervals.

This reduces research effort, improves the relevance of acquisition proposals, and makes collection development significantly more efficient.

Less searching. Better recommendations. More efficient acquisition.

A Powerful Service for Your Customers

The Approval Plan System gives library suppliers and consortia a powerful digital service that can be fully implemented in their own corporate design.

It helps you differentiate your offering, strengthen customer relationships, and provide a scalable solution for professional collection development.

Integrated into Your Acquisition Workflow

The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing library and procurement environments and extended with powerful modules, including:

• OPAC matching against existing library holdings
• MARC record delivery
• Integration with Alma, SISIS, Aleph and other library systems
• Support for large libraries and library consortia
• Collection development services
• Accessible and barrier-free workflows
• Integration of licensed digital products through the NEWBOOKS DATA HUB

This creates a continuous workflow from discovery and recommendation to selection and acquisition.
