BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Ensure that your collections efforts are as successful as possible by following the process outlined, and using the forms provided in this kit. Professional, ready-to-use samples, forms, and instructions are provided on CD-ROM in PDF and Word formats, for use on a Windows-based computer. Just load the CD-ROM onto your computer and you can print as many forms as you need.
