The document discusses the tensions between publishers and libraries over ebook licensing and distribution. It describes publishers withdrawing ebook catalogs from libraries or raising prices drastically. Treating ebooks as services rather than commodities is proposed, with the Swedish model as an example where libraries pay per circulation. Issues with the Swedish model include the distribution fee and lack of dynamic pricing. Fixes proposed include lowering fees and giving publishers more control over pricing. Benefits of libraries publishing their own ebooks or partnering with publishers are also discussed.
Javier Celaya and Luca De Biase - How to collaborate with startupsIfBookThen
The document summarizes the results of an international survey conducted by Dosdoce.com about the relationship between publishers and startups. The survey found that publishers and startups have different expectations when meeting and that fewer than 35% of publishers follow up after initial meetings. However, both groups wish to have a closer relationship. Startups are desperate for feedback from publishers on their technologies and business models. The document recommends that publishers create startup relations departments to regularly meet with startups, provide feedback, and identify areas of potential collaboration such as content distribution and testing new technologies. It also notes that few publishers invest in startups despite saying they are willing to.
The document summarizes international book market trends in 2011 based on Nielsen BookScan data. Key findings include that major book markets saw sales declines as consumer confidence remained low globally. The impact of e-books on print book sales was significant in the US and UK, and this effect is expected to grow. India saw strong book sales growth, showing opportunities in developing markets. The presentation also found that comprehensive metadata listing details about books led to substantially higher sales.
The document contains three quotes about storytelling and creating fictional worlds. The first quote is from J.R.R. Tolkien discussing how an author can create a secondary world that readers believe and are immersed in while reading. The second quote is about how Charles Dickens used serial publication to recreate the relationship between storyteller and audience. The third quote is from Matt Locke discussing how online storytelling allows sharing personal stories from the past decade to take readers on a journey.
The document provides an overview and history of eReolen, the Danish public libraries' ebook service. It summarizes that eReolen launched in 2011 but major publishers withdrew in 2012 due to declining sales, leading libraries to use alternative services. Negotiations from 2013-2014 brought publishers back to eReolen under a new compromise model. The current model uses a license system for new titles and a click-based system for backlist titles. Statistics are presented on loans, users, and other measures of eReolen's use and success since its relaunch.
Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) is emerging as a new library collection development model and challenging existing business and service models for vendors and publishers. PDA is moving beyond individual projects and becoming yet another model to build and maintain library collections. What guidelines and standards will be required to support PDA?
Speakers in this webinar will:
Present an overview of the introduction and evolution of PDA.
Describe the kinds of PDA -- both print and electronic -- that have developed (e.g., ILL requests and loading records into an OPAC based on library-defined parameters, including approval plans), and whether best practices are in place yet.
Describe the mechanics of workflow (vendor systems, ILS and ILL systems, publisher data), and discuss whether existing standards support PDA, or if there are standards that need to be developed.
Discuss the long-term effects on budgets (which can be spent very quickly), collection development (will the print or electronic book collection remain relevant?), interlibrary loan (will ILL borrowing decrease significantly if items are purchased rather than borrowed?), and publishing models.
This document provides an overview of ebook publishing, including:
- Definitions of ebooks, publishing, and the history of ebook distributors like Smashwords and Amazon.
- The process of publishing an ebook, including formatting, cover design, metadata, conversion, pricing, ISBN/ASIN, copyright, distribution, and marketing.
- Key points about the ebook market, such as indies outperforming traditional publishers in sales and earnings, and how price impacts units sold.

This document discusses the history and current state of e-books and e-readers. It outlines the development of e-readers from 1998 to present day and traces the origins of e-books back to 1971. The document also examines questions around what type of e-reader may be best suited to different users' needs and preferences. It provides an overview of the e-book collections and services available through the library. Finally, it considers future directions for librarians, consumers, and educators regarding e-books and reading technologies.
This document discusses the challenges libraries face in providing ebooks to patrons. It notes that ebooks could threaten libraries' role but that much depends on the approach taken. It outlines some of the limitations of ebooks compared to physical books. It also discusses the fight libraries have in acquiring ebooks due to licensing negotiations with publishers and vendors, as well as challenges in getting ebooks into the hands of patrons due to technical support needs. The document suggests some ways libraries can proceed, such as creating their own content, investing in technology, advocating for ownership and integration in negotiations, and prioritizing user instruction.

How Libraries Can Launch Community Publishing Initiatives with Self-Published...Smashwords, Inc.
Libraries have long provided an essential community service by making books and other information products freely available and accessible to local community patrons. Libraries play a critical role in promoting literacy, a culture of books and the joys of reading.
With the rise of ebooks, public libraries are at a crossroads. Some large traditional publishers, which fear digital lending might cannibalize retail sales of both print books and ebooks, have been hesitant to supply ebooks to libraries at the very time that library patrons are clamoring for access to such products.
This three-part presentation outlines the opportunity for libraries to expand their community role by developing programs that promote a culture of authorship. By holding seminars and classes, and by bringing local authors together with readers and aspiring authors, Libraries are uniquely qualified to orchestrate community resources and talent to help local writers become professional self-publishers. Unlike traditional publishers, self-published authors are pro-library. By developing community publishing initiatives that promote best-practices for professional self-publishing, libraries will help ensure a steady and diverse supply of high-quality books for library patrons and readers worldwide.
This series of three presentations was delivered by Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, on March 21, 2013 at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services symposium held in Lansing, Michigan.The presentations have been combined here for ease of access.
Additional text has been added so viewers will gain contextual background for information that was delivered verbally.
The document discusses moving from a traditional model of audience development focused on marketing individual authors/films, to a reader/viewer-centered model that aims to increase people's enjoyment and confidence in exploring various creative works. It suggests applying techniques used to promote reading, such as reader groups, profiles of readers/recommendations, and websites that match people's interests to new works, to the area of film in order to develop audiences in a similar way. The overarching question is whether this reader-centered approach can offer an effective model for audience development in cinemas.
Knowledge Unlatched is a not-for-profit initiative that enables open access for scholarly books. It allows libraries around the world to collaborate and share the costs of publishing books open access. For its pilot collection, Knowledge Unlatched has assembled 28 books from 13 publishers. If at least 200 libraries pledge support, the collection will be made freely available online. The pilot aims to test a sustainable model for open access monographs and help shape Knowledge Unlatched's future.
The document discusses the publishing industry and eBooks. It includes summaries from representatives from Random House, OverDrive, and Gale Cengage Learning. Key points include that Random House remains committed to print books, OverDrive works to create business models that benefit both publishers and libraries, and Gale has actively adapted its reference content to digital formats over decades.
Spending on print monographs at the University of Manchester library has fallen 37% from 2009-2013, while spending on individual eBooks has increased 148% and eBook subscriptions have increased 39%. The ratio of the average cost of an eBook to a print book has also increased during this period. While subscription eBook packages provide access to more titles at a lower individual cost, they can include unused titles and move towards the expensive "big deal" model of journal packages. The library is considering alternative models of hosting open access publishing and reducing costs of eTextbooks and research eBooks to increase access and lower barriers.

The document discusses patron-driven e-books (PDA), which allow libraries to offer e-books to users on-demand based on user interest and usage. It describes several PDA business models including purchase, rental, capped pay-per-view, and evidence-based selection models. It also discusses some of the practical challenges of implementing a PDA program and analyzing usage data, which shows that while users accessed many e-books for free through loans, the library still spent a significant portion of its budget on loans rather than purchases. Overall, the document examines the promises and potential pitfalls of PDA programs for libraries.
The Uppsala Public Library is located at Svartbäcksgatan 17 in Uppsala, Sweden. It is open to the public free of charge and serves as a community space where people can read, access computers and the internet, attend programs and events, and borrow a variety of materials including books, audiobooks, magazines, music, movies, and video games. The library uses its own classification system to organize materials but is considering adopting the Dewey Decimal System. It offers various services and programs for adults and children.
This document summarizes Knowledge Unlatched, a not-for-profit initiative that enables open access to scholarly books. It works by having libraries from around the world collaborate to share the costs of publishing books openly. For a pilot collection of 28 books, at least 200 libraries need to pledge support so the books can be made openly accessible. The document outlines the challenges facing traditional book publishers, how Knowledge Unlatched addresses these issues through a global library partnership model, and benefits to libraries, authors and readers of participating in the initiative.
Kassia Krozser - Publishing is Content: What do Readers Want?IfBookThen
The document discusses what readers want from reading experiences and products. It explores different types of readers, including vacation readers, beginning readers, audiobook listeners, and vision-impaired readers. The document suggests that readers want useful content that solves problems or fulfills needs, good metadata to find content, context over restrictive digital formats, quality, and innovation. It acknowledges readers' desire for these elements through a partial list and examples.

Giorgia Lupi presents Pleens, an open publishing platform that enables people to connect stories, locations and objects.
Edward Nawotka founded Publishing Perspectives, a website focused on data and reader behavior in publishing. The document discusses how digital content now accounts for 98% of information compared to 25% in 2000. It also notes that there are millions of self-published books and billions of social media interactions daily, demonstrating the rise of user generated content. The final lines suggest publishers should focus on understanding why readers behave the way they do rather than just what data says.
Bob Stein gives an overview of the theme "Publishing is Education" and presents SocialBook, a reading platform that allows users to interact with texts, leave notes, and begin conversations around those books.
Javier Celaya - Publishing is TechnologyIfBookThen
Technology has fundamentally changed the publishing industry in several ways. It has changed how people discover, consume, and share information and content. It has also changed how people read, with a shift from reading with eyes to reading with fingers on screens. To remain relevant, publishers must embrace these changes and add new value-added services to their business models rather than just focus on content. These services could include author tools, community building, self-publishing services, personalized recommendations, and analytics. Publishers should partner with startups to help identify and create these new services, avoid being blind to digital opportunities, and transform their businesses for the digital age.
Nielsen - Evolving Markets and consumer e-book purchasing behaviorIfBookThen
This document discusses evolving e-book markets and consumer purchasing behavior. It finds that while e-book sales are rising rapidly, capturing a large share of the fiction market, this has not translated to equivalent revenue growth. E-book prices have been driven down as adoption increases. The non-fiction and children's sectors have not taken to e-books as strongly as fiction. Key challenges for publishers are maintaining revenue as digital shifts pricing pressure, and developing engaging digital content outside of fiction.
Formats: the Transition towards Web-based ContentsIfBookThen
This document discusses changes happening in the publishing industry as ebooks have risen and print design processes are changing. While ebooks originally lacked design aspects, new talent and tools are emerging that allow for more design capabilities in digital formats. The publishing industry is adapting by focusing on capabilities rather than specific products and allowing new approaches to blossom.
