Books In Print 2.0 
Books In Print 2.0 is a bibliographic database that offers a wealth of information for librarians and library users alike. As well as US and Canadian data, it now contains the international data that was formally held within Globalbooksinprint.com. We have a dedicated team of staff working with UK and international publishers to collate this data, and AquaBrowser search and discovery technology to retrieve it. Plus there is now web 2.0 technology to build a voice for your library community, with social networking and interactive opportunities including rating and reviewing titles. You can read more in depth about booksinprint 2.0 here.


Syndetics PLUS 
Syndetics Plus™ combines more than 40 million valuable content enrichment elements with advanced widget technology to seamlessly integrate bibliographic data within your OPAC. This new way to access the Syndetics content is quick and easy to implement, just a few lines of javascript to be copied and pasted into your OPAC template, and you can customise the Syndetics content to match the look and feel of your OPAC. This creates a seamless integration that was previously not possible and a net result of your OPAC pages look better and being more user-friendly for your library users. Instead of searching around the page and clicking back and forth for Syndetics content, all of the valuable content you subscribe to will be easy to find and visible right there in your full record display. You can read more about Syndetics PLUS here.

LibraryThing for Libraries 
This is the latest way to enhance your OPAC with tags, reviews and recommended/similar books. LibraryThing for Libraries offers your library users exciting new content and allows them to interact with your catalogue, share knowledge as well as generating interest in your OPAC. Read about it here. We also offer two additional applications called Shelf Browse and Library Anywhere. Shelf Browse provides a visual representation of the book on the shelf, making titles easier to locate and also suggesting alternative ones, and Library Anywhere gives mobile users access to your catalogue and other services when on the go via their mobile phones. You can read more about these two services here and here.
