FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
[Library Name] is pleased to announce a beneficial new electronic resource for its patrons.
Through a subscription to Bowker's globalbooksinprint.comŽ, patrons can now access -- either from library terminals or remotely from home computers -- the most authoritative database of English and Spanish-language book, audio book, video, and e-book information from around the world. Forty easy-to-use search options, including the ability to search by country, help patrons find any title with minimal information. Use the Forthcoming Book Room to search for upcoming books by your favorite author, 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, globalbooksinprint.comŽ 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. THORPE-Bowker is the official ISBN provider for Australia. Globalbooksinprint.comŽ is the globally expanded electronic version of the company’s flagship product, Books In Print®. For more information, just visit the Library!
