CAMEX '99 Attendees Will Preview New PubnetTM Feature to debut at BookExpo in May

Vienna, VA, March 31, 1999. Pubnet LLC will offer CAMEX ’99 attendees a ‘first look’ at the new Pubnet Ordering Wizard (POW!) an improved database and ordering component of PubnetTM the pioneering Internet EDI system that links booksellers, publishers and suppliers. Pubnet LLC will demonstrate the Pubnet Ordering Wizard at the show (Booth #2752) in Salt Lake City starting April 11.

"The POW! database and ordering component will encourage more PUBNET legacy users to upgrade to Pubnet. The product database is a unique combination of bibliographical and availability information from multiple publishers and suppliers; it allows bookstores to base their ordering decisions on information that’s updated daily. When the POW! database debuts at BookExpo, bookstores and their customers will appreciate how much faster they can place and receive orders," said Andrew Gregory, managing director, Pubnet LLC.

"E-commerce will receive considerable attention at the NACS Annual Meeting and CAMEX '99," commented David Moffatt, National Association of College Stores. "Bookstores are finding an increasing number of options for creating effective online stores but Pubnet is still the one-stop ordering system that helps them process orders quickly and easily."

"Pubnet -and the new POW! service- will enable publishers to respond to bookstores’ EDI orders more quickly and cost effectively," said Don Burden from The McGraw-Hill Companies.

Pubnet LLC launched Pubnet, its Internet-based EDI system (available at www.pubnet.org and by FTP), in March 1998. Pubnet users benefit from the system’s one-stop, feature-rich capabilities including; access to over 100 publishers and suppliers, special EDI discounts, and faster order acknowledgements.
