Books In Print® 2.0 is a rebuild of Bowker's flagship product into a breathtaking new universal book discovery system that offers next-generation search and discovery of an even richer set of book information, to reinforce its position as the number one reference tool on the market.
With version 2.0, Books in Print® had a complete overhaul. Your new way into Books In Print is by using powerful, user-friendly AquaBrowser technology, proven at hundreds of libraries, small to large, worldwide. It provides relevancy ranked search , faceted refine options, and a concept discovery, serendipity-enabling word cloud.
Furthermore, the results are now grouped by edition, making your result list easier to go through and the right items or edition much easier to locate. This "FRBRization" of the result list is a major leap forward in the usability of your reference search.
A huge new feature is in the addition of social library functionality. Users can rate, review and tag items, for themselves, and for sharing with other users. User content is put to work, for example by employing user tags as a refine option, or by offering associated concepts in a word cloud by analyzing reviews.
