ONIX, Standards & Metadata
@BookNet_Canada is hosting online group sessions on the transition to ONIX 3.0.
CLICK TO TWEET

As you are well aware, BookNet Canada has set a target deadline of August 28, 2020 for all Canadian data providers to be able to send a full ONIX 3.0 feed. Get your calendars ready because to help the industry accomplish this goal, BookNet Canada is hosting informal “office hours” twice each month over the summer, until August 24. We will discuss issues related to the transition from ONIX 2.1 to ONIX 3.0, identify compelling resources, and tackle your burning questions. Grab a coffee or #QuaranTea and settle into an hour of deep ONIX nerdery, led by BookNet Canada’s supreme bibliographic leader, Tom Richardson.

Register for the sessions here. And come prepared to learn, chat, and meet your peers as we tackle 2020’s biggest metadata challenge.

BookNet Canada acknowledges that its operations are remote and our colleagues contribute their work from the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Anishnawbe, the Haudenosaunee, the Wyandot, the Mi’kmaq, the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations (which includes the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomie), and the Métis, the original nations and peoples of the lands we now call Beeton, Brampton, Guelph, Halifax, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Vaughan, and Windsor. We endorse the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (PDF) and support an ongoing shift from gatekeeping to spacemaking in the book industry.
