Noor lifts her gaze to her computer. Her lids are heavy, she’s been reading for hours. Even so, she yells out a battle cry, readies her fingers above her keyboard and adjusts her position in her chair.
NOOR: I’m the chosen one. The one to rise to the moment. To speak to power. To update our ONIX feed to 3.0. I’ve got this!
Now that the benchmark date has been set (August 28, 2020) and your company has made the commitment to transition to ONIX 3.0, you’ve got some work to do. Your #stayhome ONIX 3.0 reading list is readied, you’re all set… right? Major League Baseball spring training may be cancelled but your coaches here at BookNet are going to help you slide into home.
We’ve released a checklist for Canadian data providers to help you every step of the way. Whether you're creating an ONIX 3.0 file for the first time or using one you already have, the list provides a basic outline to work your bibliographic data into an ONIX 3.0 feed worthy of your most demanding trading partners.
The checklist and accompanying tips are a living document that can be found here.
All this to say: you’re ready for this.
