Note: Publishers must complete the Permission section of the online form, indicating that they either own the intellectual property rights or have obtained all necessary consents from the intellectual property rights holders for the material submitted to the New Books service.

Through the new interactive process for the Cataloguing in Publication programme, authenticated bibliographic data will be returned via the Internet to publishers for inclusion in their publications, along with the confirmation that we have received your permission to use the New Books material.

Once we receive your files, we will create a New Books record for each title that will include authoritative Cataloguing in Publication data along with the text and graphics you provide. Our powerful, user-friendly search provides basic and advanced search options so that readers can find favourite authors easily, or search by title, subject, keyword, publisher name or Amicus number.

“New This Month” is a special feature of our New Books collection that highlights the most recent additions to the service. In this section, you can browse by subject to find new books of interest, using the familiar Dewey Decimal Classification Schedule.
