Our cloud-based Metadata Management System enables publishers to maintain and automatically export information about books to all relevant wholesalers, metadata vendors and online booksellers. Having a single repository for all information ensures that it will always be disseminated correctly.

All incremental updates are sent to data recipients daily in ONIX or in special proprietary formats via ftp. A module for downloading publisher's data as MARC records is also available.

All software systems have been created turnkey ready and are hosted in our data centre.

The Title Editor is a cloud-based module from our DATA HUB: the user-friendly web interface enables the administration and editorial enrichment of your productive database(s) with unique content. In this way, publishers and booksellers offer their customers the added value of unique and information-rich search and ordering environments. At the same time, the search engine ranking for their website is being optimized.

The Title Editor can be individually adapted to the field content to be maintained. An unlimited number of styles can be set up for your Title Editor.

Web shop managers, for example at Sack Fachmedien, add sales-promoting information to the title data and in this way implement their own unique content strategy.

As in the case of the Austrian-based publisher and specialist bookseller MANZ, our editorial team can alternatively take on the tasks of enriching title data with subject classifications and keywords.

All software systems have been created turnkey ready and are hosted in our data centre.

NEWBOOKS generates MARC records for library suppliers and publishers or supplies them directly per ftp to libraries and library consortia.

For Library Suppliers

MARC records are vital to library suppliers because they are often requested by their library customers in parallel with an order record. When a library supplier uses our Approval Plan System, they can offer their library customers a corresponding MARC service.

For Libraries & Library Consortia

Libraries have the option to be supplied directly with MARC records via ftp or direct data feed. MARC records can also be supplied directly as part of our Approval Plan System for library consortia.

For Publishers

MARC records are also important for publishers and their entry into the library market. In short, if a library cannot access a MARC record for a publication, that item cannot be integrated into the library’s catalogue.

Publishers have the option to purchase MARC records from NEWBOOKS for their metadata dissemination process or for their own platform/eLibrary.

The metadata standard MARC (Machine Readable Catalogue) is an international data format released by the Library of Congress which libraries use to import records directly into their catalogues.

Hundreds of thousands of records are exchanged in ONIX format every day. It is becoming increasingly important for all industry participants to establish the best possible data quality and short processing times. Our ONIX import system takes care of this.

Advantages for Booksellers and Publishers

• The system imports ONIX 2.1, ONIX 3 and Excel/CSV
• Swift data import and automatic data corrections
• Connectivity for any existing product database
• Proven through many years of use, e.g. at Zeitfracht, Umbreit, VLB

The metadata standard ONIX (ONline Information eXchange) is a data format for exchanging bibliographic data. The standard is coordinated by the international standardization committee EDItEUR in London and is continuously developed by the IG Produktmetadaten in the German bookseller association. NEWBOOKS Solutions is a permanent member of IG Produktmetadaten.

Whether for initial or incremental updates: If product metadata is to be exchanged between partners in the book trade, then the ONIX format is the relevant standard. Using the ONIX 3 format, important information about DRM, bundles and accompanying marketing materials can be integrated into the data exchange.

Advantages for Publishers and Booksellers

• Any data transformations when exporting
• Export according to best practice rules
• Seamless connection to any database
• Proven through many years of use, e.g. at Umbreit and Zeitfracht
