BiblioShare is BookNet Canada’s data aggregation service for ONIX, image, sample and position files that provides support to Canadian publishing and retail sales.
An easy way to understand the services we offer is to follow this train of thought:
- publishers and distributors communicate with retailers using data files
- the largest and most comprehensive data file standard used is the ONIX standard
- BiblioShare takes the same ONIX file and image material that publishers and distributors supply to retailers and provides data services to other players in the Canadian supply chain, including The 49th Shelf, our own e-catalogue service BNC CataList, wholesalers (library and trade) as well as a number of other businesses.
Our goal is to create a high-quality aggregate of book metadata to help simplify the Canadian supply chain and promote book discovery by businesses and consumers.
