In addition to distribution of ebook metadata, CoreSource is able to distribute metadata for your print books to vendors and other members of the publishing supply chain as well.
Delivering print metadata simultaneously with ebook metadata ties the print and digital editions of a book more closely and will help prevent separate listings for the same title and speed up the posting of titles at retailer’s sites.
Metadata is distributed to partners once a week, and can be set up to automatically distribute through CoreSource. Publishers can distribute metadata in either Excel or ONIX format, and some vendors will also take cover image files for print titles.
