BOWKER® EBOOKMETADATA
STARTHERE
EXPAND TITLE DISCOVERABILITY BEYOND YOUR SITEThe search and discovery products from Bowker provide vital ebook metadata from publishers and booksellers to librarians,booksellers, and consumers. Our goal is to provide basic and enhanced metadata to ensure the user can locate both direct query matches and similar products during their search. Then we point them to where they can access the product throughan institutional subscription program, or for individual purchase. Even if titles are available solely via your website or subscription plan, Bowker can help increase your sales by alertingcustomers that an ebook format is available, and direct themto you for purchase.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROMOTING EBOOKSAlthough metadata is important for publishers andbooksellers to reach individual readers, Bowker also provides that same metadata to the following customer base: •Libraryonlinecatalogs •Ebookretailers •Librarianspurchasingebooksubscriptions •Libraryplatformsforebooks •Textbookretailers,wholesalers,andrentalcompanies •Serviceprovidersforcollegebookstores •2-yearand4-yearinstitutionallibraries •4-yearprivateandpublicuniversities •Onlineeducationsoftwareproviders • IntegratedLibrarySystems
