Amazon Business for Libraries
Join us for an overview of the new Amazon Business Prime for Libraries! In addition to the discounted IT peripherals and office supplies NJLA EIM members receive from our NJLA/Amazon partnership, you can now take advantage of their new library services, including discounted print materials, brief MARC records, and Pay to Play documentation. As we approach the end of the first year of this partnership, we'd love to hear your feedback and review any questions you have about the program.
Transform library book purchasing with Amazon Business
Amazon Business introduces new capabilities to streamline library book procurement.
Public libraries can now access curated book collections at competitive prices without adding complexity to their vendor management processes. While many U.S. public libraries already purchase office supplies, furniture, and technology from Amazon Business, purchasing books requires a specialized set of tools and capabilities. Now, with Amazon Business Books for Libraries, we’ve combined the savings and selection you already love with dedicated features for libraries.
Amazon worked closely with U.S. public libraries to understand the complexities and pain points in book buying, and are excited to introduce specialized book procurement tools designed to reduce the challenges that selection curators, procurement admins, and librarians face every day. Amazon Business Books for Libraries allows you to streamline your library book purchasing with:
- Instant MARC Records: Immediate access to Machine-Readable Cataloguing (MARC) records upon purchase to reduce cataloging time and effort
- Substantial Savings: 30-40% off list price on select new releases, so you can stretch your budget further while offering more reading options to your patrons
- A dedicated Library Hub: A simplified way to source new, upcoming titles and manage MARC record downloads in one place.
