| SELLING TRADE EBOOKS TO LIBRARIES: THE REAL DEAL June 5th, 4:00–4:50 PM Jacob K. Javits Center Room 1E16 In the last few years libraries have perceived a chilling effect in regard to ebook trade models and library sales. Two of the “Big Six” publishers—Macmillan and Simon & Schuster—do not sell ebooks to libraries. The new HarperCollins “26 Circs” model via OverDrive has provoked anger in some and dismay in many. Moderated by LJ Executive Editor, Digital Products, Josh Hadro, librarians will discuss their ideas about how to transform ebook distribution models into a win/win for publishers, aggregators and library customers. Hear library leaders debunk the myths about libraries and ebooks. How do libraries select ebooks? How can you facilitate sales via the library channel? What are the preferred terms of sale/lease, access models, etc.? Is piracy really a threat? MODERATOR PANELISTS This event is free and open to all BEA attendees. |
