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."
I now realize what a monumental task it is for the editors and Theytus Books to publish Gatherings on an annual basis. However, I also understand the importance of publishing a current and vibrant collection of Aboriginal literatures each year. It is, in a sense, a documentation of our voice that affirms our continuing presence both on the landscape and in the literary world. Aboriginal authors continue to preserve, drawing back on our ancestors and traditions to find a solid foundation, and reaching out into uncharted territory to develop new literary techniques. - From the Editors Note by Florene Belmore
