We maintain the only Finnish literature database in Finland! The database contains over 230 000 products, e.g. books, maps and calendars. Approximately 20 000 new products are catalogued annually.
Do you want to resell Finnish books and have the product information and changes to the books you sell automatically updated every day? In that case, you can purchase access to the product database and offer up-to-date information about printed, e- and audio books in your own online store. The database service includes, for example, detailed product metadata, keywords, cover images, introductory texts, Thema classification and commercial price and availability information.
If you are a publisher and want to submit your books' product metadata, cover images and introductory texts through us, e.g. to library databases, retailers, store systems, Storia's online services and reading time services (if the publisher has an E-book service agreement), you can submit the information conveniently via the ONIX service (in Finnish). The ONIX centre is a joint forum for the book industry, whose task is to serve domestic publishers by facilitating the production of product information related to books in accordance with the standard. The National Library of Finland is responsible for the operation, along with us. Publishers can check and update the product information of their own books via the ID-based ONIX service. If you do not yet have an ID and would like to create one, please contact us. Correct and up-to-date product information is the basis of information services, so remember to update your book information when it changes!
