As the exclusive ISBN agency in the U.S., Bowker is the world’s leading authority for bibliographic and publisher information. In addition to basic title and author data, we expand the Books In Print® database on a daily basis by reaching out to publishers and authors for deeper title information -- synopses, biographies, cover images, subject categories, audience classifications, binding formats, and much more. Add to this a gold mine of title reviews, awards lists, media mentions, and bestseller histories, as well as series information and excerpted chapters, and it’s no surprise that our array of data-driven products and services have set the industry standard.
Data Cleansing
Our Data Optimization & Cleansing is designed to enhance the creation, cleaning, distribution, discoverability, and analysis of a publisher’s catalog. This suite of services is geared toward publishers with more than 500 titles who would like to streamline their workflow and produce more complete data for their customers.
Data On Demand
Data On Demand is designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over the web. From like web services that perform simple requests, to complicated business processes (RESTful or SOAP interfaces), Data on Demand allows client programs to easily connect, issue queries, and obtain the data they need.
Data Licensing
For organizations with specialized data needs, Bowker provides the option of a raw data site license of Books In Print®. A raw data site license allows your organization to utilize these valuable bibliographic databases using your own software.
