History

BiblioQuest began as a partnership in 1994, eventually incorporating in 2004. The company also owns and manages the

Abebooks. In 2005 BiblioQuest did not renew its contract with Abebooks and instead created a strategic alliance with Biblio.com and Alibris, as well as commencing its own inventory listing service focused on Australia and New Zealand.[3]

The company has helped foster Australia's first booktown project and in 2002 founder Paul McShane was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in recognition of that work.[4][5]

Business profile

BiblioQuest International maintains a traditional booksearch service offering telephone and mail order options, as well as online purchasing. It also provides out-of-print booksearching for major bookshop chains and many independent stores throughout Australia and New Zealand.

In 2007 BiblioQuest launched BibliOZ portal sites catering to specific professional clients in the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, dentistry, engineering and mining.
