Library suppliers must be able to select good books for libraries and sell books well for publishers. Selecting good books requires professional catalogs, and Rentian Bookstore regards catalogs as the core competitiveness of the enterprise. Rentian Bookstore provides libraries with the following catalogs: publication catalogs based on Cataloging in Publication (Rentian Bibliography News); available-title catalogs based on in-stock availability (China Available Books); subject-specific catalogs based on library collection needs; union catalogs based on interlibrary reference; and core bibliographies based on book evaluation. The "Afagou" recommendation and procurement system independently developed by Rentian Bookstore integrates the above catalogs on a unified platform, interconnecting and revealing them so that library users can accurately create order catalogs that meet their library's collection needs and hand them to the winning book supplier for procurement and implementation. Columbus is a library supply service platform created by Rentian based on the search, discovery, evaluation, and recommendation of collection books. The most important function of this platform is to make value judgments on all books and establish core bibliographies, using them as the basis for library procurement and as a tool for assessing collection quality. This is Rentian Bookstore's important contribution to the development of library document resources.
