Ashgate Publishing had a complex mix of over 20 networked printers and 40 desktop printers that were basic and costly. They deployed 7 ITQ multifunctional printers which significantly reduced costs and management burden while expanding capabilities like scanning, faxing, and stapling. Staff found the ITQ system easy to use with card swipes and it reduced paper consumption by 50%. The implementation was a success thanks to the support from ITQ.
How much of the future is digital; are subscription services the future; is the publishing economy distorted by imbalanced competition? The talk will look at some of the big questions facing global publishing and how they might play out.
The presentation was given by Richard Mollet, CEO of UK Publishing Association at Abu Dhabi International Book Fair Professional Program 2015. It was part of the ADIBF Academy Certificate Future Proof Publisher 2015.
How ebooks Have Changed the Print Book Marketplace
Jonathan Nowell heads Nielsen Book. Their Bookscan service tracks sales of books and ebooks in the US, the UK, and other markets around the world.
In this presentation, Nowell will look back over a decade or more of Nielsen book sales data to tell us how the print world has changed. It is accepted fact now that ebooks work commercially for narrative books, but not so well for reference and illustrated books. What that means by category is the focus of Nowell's presentation. He will tell us both how the proportion of print and ebook sales break down in various categories, but also will show how the share of printed books has changed across categories as ebooks have taken hold in the marketplace. The data from Nowell will indicate to us what bookstores might look like in the future as the mainstay sales of bestselling authors move increasingly to digital.
Panasas Storage Smooths Turbulence for ICME at Stanford UniversityPanasas
An existing storage system hindered the compute performance of this research organization’s work in designing systems free of performance and safety issues related to turbulence. Their storage system often hung and limited the productivity of the cluster. A critical issue for a new system was installation and amount of time required for ease of integration. The fully integrated software/hardware solution to this problem included the Panasas Operating Environment and the PanFS parallel file system with the Panasas DirectFLOW protocol.

Creators of library management and inventory control systems are playing catch-up with the 21st century nature of cloud-based library collections and cloud-resident library users. Part history, part accident, and part vision for the future, moving management services to the network is an inevitable evolution of library automation with revolutionary implications. Pace will give his views about the history, present, and hopeful future for more collaborative, efficient, and effective library management services.
