Essential webinar on transitioning to ONIX 3.0

ONIX, Standards & Metadata
Webinar BISG x BNC webinar on Tuesday, May 5 at 1:00 pm

It’s officially spring and day 287 of physical distancing and your #stayhome media queue has been hit … hard. Don’t fret! Your friendly neighbourhood standards organizations have joined forces to bring you a webinar with everyone’s favourite British standards wonk, Graham Bell of EDItEUR to enliven* the first week of May!

*While we cannot promise the webinar will be lively, per se, we can promise it will be educational, good for your business plan, and full of vitamin ONIX.

Are you a publisher wondering how to start transitioning to ONIX 3.0? Or are you a data recipient trying to decide if ONIX 3.0 can benefit your business? Maybe you have questions on how to implement this change across your organization? This webinar is for you!

Graham Bell, Executive Director of EDItEUR, the organization responsible for managing the ONIX for Books standard, will lead a special two-hour workshop on "Making the Transition from ONIX 2.1 to ONIX 3.0." As you know from doing your homework, substantial portions of the two standards overlap, but there are key differences in areas that include digital products, market-specific publishing details, collections (series and sets), and pricing. Graham will lay it all bare, reserving the final half hour for questions from participants.

Register for the webinar here. Can’t attend? Register anyways, as all sessions are recorded, and you'll have access to an archived version even if you're unable to attend the live presentation.

Bonus marks: learn about transitioning to ONIX 3.0 in this webinar from the BookNet Canada archives.

People dancing, sentenced in the bottom "We're all in this together".

Feel free to get in touch should you have any questions or need support. We’re here to help.
