codeMantra now offers Google Book Search
[PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA] - codeMantra is happy to announce that we
now enable publisher clients to promote books on Google Book Search through our
Collection Point® solution that facilitates archival, distribution,
metadata management and supports the Universal PDF® format that is
widely accepted by most digital content distributors and aggregators.
What is the advantage of Google Book
Search?
Once your content has been converted and distributed to Google
Book Search it is easy for customers to locate your content. Through Google Book
Search users can search for the books of their choice just like they perform a
search on Google.com. Results whose content contains a match to the search terms
are presented with links to the search results. Clicking on a book result,
you'll be able to see everything from a few short excerpts to the entire book.
Each book includes an 'About this book' page with basic
bibliographic data like title, author, publication date, length and subject. For
some books you may also see additional information like key terms and phrases,
references to the book from scholarly publications or other books, chapter
titles and a list of related books. For every book, you'll see links directing
you to bookstores where you can buy the book and libraries where you can borrow
it.
As a publisher you have the ability to determine the permissions
you make available to those who view your books. You can offer the following
choices:
Full view: The customer can page through the entire book from
start to finish, as many times as they like.
Limited preview: Only a few pages of the book are presented to
the customer for them to make their purchase decision.
Snippet view: Clicking on the book result, the customer will be
taken to the 'About this book' page.
No preview available: Only the 'About this book' page displaying
bibliographic information about the book, plus links to help you find it in a
bookstore or library are displayed.
