R.R. Bowker, a publisher of bibliographic information, introduced a Web-based subscription of Spanish language books, audiobooks, and videos available at
http://www.spanishbooksinprint.com.
The product includes features that have not been offered in the United States for Spanish language materials, including access to a database with in-print, forthcoming, audio, video, and out-of-print titles.
Users will be able to locate Spanish language materials published in the United States, Spain, and Mexico that are carried by U.S.-based suppliers. "We see the primary user of spanishbooksinprint.com to be the English-speaking collection development and book-buying personnel at public, academic, government, and special libraries, as well as bookstores," said Michael Cairns, president of New Providence, N.J.-
based Bowker.
