Quality-assured metadata spread far and wide.

BiblioShare makes it easier to find, market and sell books in Canada.

BiblioShare is a quality-controlled aggregation system that disseminates bibliographic data with unprecedented reach across the industry. It helps publishers and distributors create quality ONIX files and it facilitates sharing these files as well as cover images and position files by serving as the central source for metadata for all books available in the market.

Why BiblioShare?

• Better files. ONIX files are validated to ensure quality. Data creators can use the reports to improve their data and data users can rest assured they’re pulling useful files.
• All in one place. BiblioShare collects ONIX records, cover images and position files for any book available in the Canadian market. Data creators maintain one set of files and data users only need to go to one authoritative source.
• Spread far and wide. BiblioShare feeds data across the country and beyond to retailers, publishers, librarians and the media, to websites, blogs, POS and ILS systems across the country.
• It’s free! There are no start-up costs for using BiblioShare, uploading and testing files are free, and all regular data pulls are free too.

It is a Canadian born and industry-led project designed specifically for the Canadian supply chain. It fully supports the Canadian identifier to give Canadian books the recognition they deserve.
