Be more competitive with Pubnet efficiency! Owned by R.R. Bowker,
a subsidiary of Cambridge Information Group, Pubnet® is the book
industry’s core electronic ordering system serving the publishing
and bookselling industry with streamlined and expanded direct ordering
functionality.
The Association of American Publishers (AAP), the publishing industry's principal trade group, created Pubnet® in 1987 through its Higher Education Division to provide college bookstores an inexpensive method of ordering books electronically. The Pubnet service was extended to general bookstores in 1989 and to library distributors and jobbers in 1991. Pubnet LLC became a separate division of the AAP in 1992. In 1996, Pubnet adopted an open network policy making the service available to all partners in the book trade. As the world’s leading source for book, serial, and publishing data and a peerless technological innovator, R.R. Bowker is one of the true giants in the information industry today. RR Bowker manages Pubnet day-to-day operations, sales and marketing, system upgrades and customer support. More than 3,000 bookstores, libraries, wholesalers and schools are equipped to buy books electronically through Pubnet, making it the world's premier electronic community for the publishing and selling industries. Pubnet customers are among the best-known names in the retail book trade and college store market, including Borders Books and Music, Barnes & Noble college stores and Follett College Stores. Pubnet's roster of more than 90 publishers and suppliers includes Addison Wesley Longman, Bantam Doubleday Dell, Cambridge University Press, Harcourt Brace & Co., HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin, ITP, John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, Penguin Putnam, Random House Inc., Simon & Schuster, NACSCORP and Ingram Book Company.
