ONIX is the international standard for storing and sharing title information between publishers, distributors and booksellers. The APA has been encouraging the adoption of ONIX as a way of helping sell more books and uses ONIX to run its TitlePage.com service.

The APA's ONIX Project was officially completed in 2004 with the end of our government EPICS funding. However such has been the level of interest in ONIX that the APA continues to provide support and resources for publishers and booksellers to encourage the industry wide adoption of ONIX. View the current list of participating and compliant organisations (updated 17 May 2006).
