On a book's Title Detail Page, bibliographic details are mostly displayed under the contributor name(s) and in the accordion flaps in the left column. If the information for Sales Rights and Supply Detail are not populated, those accordion flaps will not display on the Title Detail Page.
Click on the corresponding bibliographic category to learn how to populate each specific field in Webform:
Title
Product Form
Sales Rights
Imprint
Supply Detail
BISAC Regional Codes/THEMA Codes
Age Ranges
Illustrations, Measure Extent, Page Count
Publication Date
Title
Fill in the main title of your book in the TITLE box, on any tab on Webform.
If your title begins with a prefix (a, an, or the), split the title to fill in the TITLE PREFIX and TITLE WITHOUT PREFIX boxes, which will automatically populate the TITLE box. Why? Splitting your title helps retailers sort them appropriately by title!
Don't forget to add the book's subtitle, if it has one, in the first box under the General Information heading.
HOT TIP:
If the title of your book does not begin with a prefix, then you only need to fill in the TITLE box, leaving the TITLE PREFIX and TITLE WITHOUT PREFIX boxes empty
2. Product Form
The product form category, where titles can be identified as digital versus print, is very important: Not only is the title's product form displayed in all title displays on CataList, but the product form is also used as a search filter, allowing users to isolate books based on product form.
Select the correct product form using the PRODUCT FORM box in the General Information tab on Webform.
HOT TIP:
Identify digital products by filling in the EPUBLICATION TYPE box. For print products, you can also optionally fill in the PRODUCT FORM DETAIL box, in addition to the PRODUCT FORM box.
Sales Rights
At the bottom of the General information tab you will find “For Sale with exclusive rights”. Click the globe to see the list of countries available. World, is also available as an option for your titles.
A list of countries will appear in a pop-up window. Please select appropriate option(s) and then click OK at the bottom.
Using the General Information tab on Webform, fill in the FOR SALE WITH EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS box with the sales rights for your title. This information is displayed when you open the Sales Rights accordion on the Title Detail Page for your title in CataList.
Hot Tip:
If you have all the rights for your title, select World. Or select Canada if you're unsure about what rights you have or if it's the only area you're trying to sell the book within.
