Bibliographic standards are always changing to keep up with the ever-evolving realities of the book industry and it's in the best interest of your business to keep up, too. Should you be using BISAC or Thema subject codes (or both)? Which version of ONIX are your business partners using? What improvements to your metadata should you prioritize for 2018? In this session, Bibliographic Manager Tom Richardson will answer your pressing questions and show you what's new, what's important, and what's coming up in standards.

PUBLISHERS:
• If
you’ve
improved
your
data,
be
sure
to
tell
retailers
how
it’s
changed
and
what
they
can
rely
on.
• Look
for,
promote,
and
poli9c
for
feed
back.
• Be
accurate,
say
nothing
you
don’t
mean
and
update
your
data
regularly.
• Check
your
actual
ONIX
metadata
–
what’s
in
your
database
isn’t
always
in
the
file.

27. Standards
and

DISTRIBUTORS:
• Work
with
your
publishers
to
improve
the
accuracy
of
their

• Discuss
what

be
supplied
when
you
know
the
