The challenges and opportunities of making the switch to ONIX 3.1: A ReaderBound webinar

It’s been a long time coming but the North American book supply chain finally seems serious about making the switch to ONIX 3.1 in 2026. 

In the latest installment of ReaderBound's ongoing webinar series, we explored the business case for sending your bibliographic data as ONIX 3.1, some of the distinct characteristics of the updated standard that can be showcased on a publisher’s website, and some of the common challenges that presses encounter when moving from 2.1 to 3.1.
