Book databases have many different purposes
National Bibliographies Repository of cultural heritage
Cataloguing in Publication (CIP) Basic bibliographic information, sometimes printed in book
Wholesaler/distributor databases Books carried by wholesaler/distributor
Books in Print databases (BiP) Providing information to the book supply chain

Wholesalers’ databases
Usually limited to books available from a single wholesaler or distributor
Designed to provide limited retail information needs of wholesaler’s clients
Often not publicly available – limited to clients Some information (e.g. availability) refers to wholesaler
rather than the publisher

Books in Print

Why is BiP so important?
Information about every book available for sale Provides all the information that bookshops and libraries
need to make purchase decisions and obtain the book Accurate and up-to-date data
Encourages backlist sales Promotes export sales Facilitates electronic ordering and sales data Essential for Internet bookselling Helps sell more books
![Page 11: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Which European countries have BiP services?
![Page 12: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Who publishes BiP databases
Bibliographic service companies (e.g. Nielsen, UK) Wholesalers (e.g. Centraal Boekhuis, Netherlands) Trade Associations (e.g. MVB, Germany)
N.B. All of the above examples are ISBN Agencies… Sometimes a collaboration between ISBN Agencies and a
private bibliographic company (e.g. Italian Publishers Association / Informazioni Editoriali, Italy)
![Page 13: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The best solution is collaboration
ISBN agencies that are based in National Libraries linked to legal deposit bodies, are well-equipped to collect and aggregate good quality comprehensive data but not to maintain dynamic data such as price and availability
Collaboration between libraries and the trade is the best solution
Italy, Spain and the Nordic countries are good examples of collaboration between organisations (publisher associations, bibliographic service providers, wholesalers, ISBN agencies/national libraries)
All parties benefit if the data quality is improved
![Page 14: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some key components of Books in Print
Database/search software Hosting Web user interface Standard data elements Standard subject classification scheme Mechanism for collecting new title and publisher
information System for collecting and managing updates Publisher awareness of the benefits of contributing good
quality data
![Page 15: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ARROW proposal for a shared BiP platform
To create a software and hosting platform capable of meeting all the requirements of different organisations in agreed countries with minimal need for local adaptation All participating countries will have the opportunity of
expressing requirements Development cost will be shared (and funded by ARROW
Plus) On-going maintenance, enhancement and hosting costs will
also be shared amongst all countries using the system and therefore should be less per user.
![Page 16: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Agreeing requirements for BiP
Data elements and code lists (e.g. ONIX for Books 3.0) Subject descriptors (N.B. library classification schemes
are not optimal for trade use) …or “borrow” an existing scheme (e.g. BIC)
Any special requirements for user interface Source of initial data and system for collecting and
updating data Requirements for data output (via web or export files) Develop business and marketing plans
![Page 17: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Getting data from publishers
Data elements and timings should be agreed with publishers
Mechanisms should be simple forms (preferably web-based) batch exchange from publishers databases
Cost to publishers should be minimal Publishers must understand the importance of keeping
price and availability details current i.e. it will help sell books and enable ARROW searches
![Page 18: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Getting data from publishers
Publishers should include the agreed data elements on their own database
Standard codes / identifier systems should be used where possible (e.g. ONIX)
Publishers should regularly check their own BiP records for accuracy Access to BiP must be provided for publishers
Data from publishers is likely to require editorial supervision
![Page 19: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Business models - revenues
Payment for access Licensing of entire database Payment for “rich” extended entries (e.g. yellow pages) Contributions from advertising/sponsorship Public funding contributions Value-added services (e.g. electronic ordering and other
transactions, sales data)

Business models - costs
License fees for database software Hardware / hosting costs Design of user interface Staff (management, editorial, chasing publishers) Marketing

A difficult challenge: creating Books in Print databases
Books in Print databases require: Significant investments: difficult to break even in countries
with small publishing industries High level IT competences and specific know how, which
takes time to be created Consensus between stakeholders, both commercial and
public sector Proactive collaboration and commitment by those
stakeholders
![Page 22: Www.arrow-net.eu Towards a Lithuanian “Books in Print” Vilnius, 30th August 2011 ARROW Plus is a Best Practice Network selected under the ICT Policy Support.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b12765503465e7d8b6107/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Arrow Plus approach and benefits
Issue 1: reduce need for big investment create one single system that serves more markets, in order to
reduce country investment and future maintenance costs (while ensuring localisation at interface level)
Issue 2: know how Leading BIP and standard organisations are involved (MVB,
AIE, EDItEUR), which will offer a unique opportunity to help build local know-how
Issue 3: consensus All national players are invited to join and express their needs
Issue 4: local commitment Publishers must understand the benefits of providing and
maintaining data

Towards a Lithuanian Books in Print
The ARROW Plus project provides a unique opportunity in Lithuania for: bringing together publisher, bookseller library, wholesaler,
rights organisations to collaborate, share and improve data on books in and out of commerce
taking advantage of the expertise and funding within the ARROW Plus project to build a world class Books in Print database
providing a professional, shared cost solution for ongoing hosting and maintenance of the Books in Print database
