FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

[Library Name] is pleased to announce a beneficial new electronic resource for its patrons.

Through a subscription to Bowker's BooksInPrint.com™, patrons can now access -- on library terminals or remotely from their home computers -- the most authoritative database of information on books, audio books, videos, and e-books, as well as information about publishers and authors/contributors. Easy-to-use search options help patrons find any title with minimal information. Using this extensive resource, browse through award winners, or all titles by your favorite author. Discover the bestsellers of the year that your Grandmother was born! Read book reviews, or enroll in BIP Alert, a service that allows you to save your search criteria and receive alerts via e-mail when titles are added to the database or released to the market. What's more, BooksInPrint.com™ links to a Library's catalog system, letting you know whether a title is currently available or has been checked out by another patron.

Founded in 1872, R.R. Bowker is North America’s leading provider of bibliographic information, and is also the official agency for assigning ISBNs in the United States. BooksInPrint.com™ is the electronic version of the company’s flagship product, Books In Print®. For more information, visit the Library!
