Libraries

Nielsen’s comprehensive information services for books (print and digital) and multimedia products coupled with electronic trading and library borrowing data allows libraries and information specialists to make the most informed acquisition and promotion decisions.

With our extensive data services, libraries can track the performance of their stock holding against similar libraries locally and nationally, analyzing which genres and authors are performing well or poorly. We have the largest market share of UK public libraries, as well as all major library suppliers and system suppliers, including some academic libraries, allowing us to provide search and selection tools for acquisition, library quality records for their catalogue and OPAC enrichment as well as reports for retail sales and library borrowing to help them improve their offering.

Our unique range of services allows libraries to improve their customer service and footfall, while saving money and making the best use of their resources through improvements to efficiency and internal processes. Nielsen’s services allow libraries to provide a competitive service for their community, with the broadest coverage and most popular titles.
