Ohio University Press has chosen BiblioSuite for its sophisticated scholarly publishing solutions and workflows, providing the university press with access to the same best-of-class system and world-leading solutions used by Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and many more academic and scholarly publishers. Replacing its now unsupported system, Ohio University Press has selected BiblioSuite’s Product Management solution to automate and streamline its bibliographic and acquisitions processes, enabling the publisher to:
Manage all its products (including books, eBooks, series, articles, journals, academic monographs, licenses and more) in a single, centralized system that provides batch update functionality and synchronization tools to help the university press reduce any duplication of efforts when compiling, maintaining and distributing its metadata, and increase the visibility of its data companywide – saving the publisher both time and resources;
Support industry standards – including ISBN, ISSN, DOI, ORCID, ISNI, SKU, BISAC, Thema, and more – to ensure that its metadata meets the requirements of researchers, institutions and business partners worldwide, both now and into the future, whilst also facilitating the discoverability of its products to increase sales;
Digitizing paper-based workflows to better manage its proposals, board memos, transmittal memos, etc. – fast-tracking a previously manual and labor-intensive activity, with the option to easily share forms internally and export them in a variety of digital formats to send to external parties such as Board members, business partners and beyond; and
Effortlessly share, track and report on the progress of peer reviews, review copies and reading samples, enabling Ohio University Press to streamline its editorial workflows, unify its workforce (ensuring that staff have access to the data they need at every stage of the process), and sync contacts across multiple projects – speeding up the process and making it far easier to manage.
“We are delighted to be joining BiblioSuite’s accomplished community of university presses and are eagerly looking forward to the efficiencies, enhanced project tracking, quality metadata and time-savings that BiblioSuite will give us.”
Beth Pratt, Director, Ohio University Press
“It is fantastic that Ohio University Press can take advantage of the BiblioSuite to make their publishing processes as efficient as possible.”
