CataList Resources for Publishers

Welcome Publishers! We've gathered together all the information that you'll need to get started.

CataList creates interactive online catalogues for the Canadian market quickly and easily from the ONIX metadata files you already produce. Switching to the CataList e-catalogue solution will reduce the production, transportation, storage and mailing costs associated with traditional paper catalogue workflow. PDF and spreadsheet exports allow users to access and print catalogues on an as-needed basis.
