About
PowerBK is a Windows library management software designed for libraries, schools, universities, associations, professionals and private book collections. It supports book cataloging, contacts and borrowers, loans and returns, due dates, barcode labels, inventory, searches, reports and data import or export.
Bibliographic data can be retrieved from online sources using ISBN, including Google Books, Open Library and library catalog services, helping reduce manual data entry. PowerBK can also manage Dewey Decimal Classification, cover images, multiple databases and shared network installations.
The software is suitable for small and medium-sized libraries as well as personal collections. A free demo is available, with annual or perpetual licensing options.

About
ShelfPublisher is a web-based book publishing platform for authors with completed, print-ready paperbacks. After access is approved, authors buy a publishing slot for one book and upload an interior PDF and cover through the portal. Orbita Media reviews the files, assigns an ISBN from its own publisher block, publishes accepted titles under its imprint, registers book metadata with bibliographic directories, and arranges print-on-demand production and wholesale catalog distribution, reaching more than 50,000 bookstores in 18 countries. Authors retain copyright. Single-slot titles earn 30% of net revenue per copy sold; some subscriptions offer higher shares. Sales statements are issued quarterly. Each slot is valid for 36 months. The service requires no print run, inventory purchase, or separate ISBN fee.
