From July to August 2020, BookNet Canada held bi-weekly ONIX Office hours sessions. The goal was to create a virtual space in which partners, stakeholders, and the BookNet Standards team could come together to discuss issues related to the transition from ONIX 2.1 to ONIX 3.0, identify compelling resources, and tackle burning questions. The good news: ONIX office hours are back!

Starting April 28, we'll be online once a month to talk all things ONIX 3.0 related. So, add a reminder to your calendar, write down your questions, tips, and success stories and come prepared to learn, chat, and meet your peers.

Pet cameos are highly encouraged — cat filters, too!
