RUSSIAN ONLINE LIBRARIES. Henrike Schmidt analysis The old myth of Russian culture’s literary rootedness lives on in the Internet. Although in the offl ine world there are complaints of sluggish sales and poor quality, the Web libraries are abundantly fi lled. These not only act as enormous repositories of texts, but also as meeting places for a readership spread through- out the world. This fact explains their symbolic status and their importance as a point of identifi cation. However, the pressure on the Russian Internet libraries is growing: commercialisation and integration into the offl ine legal norms are changing the conditions in which they exist. Two tendencies are evident: the development of libraries that charge for their services alongside the retreat into copyright piracy.

  • From Blog to Blook
    15 | From Blog to Blook Jiaxin Yao, Department of Communications This chapter discusses the relationship between bloggers and publishing industries. Using a case study about K-beauty makeup blogger, named Pony, this chapter examines how one author found success with her blog, parlaying that success into a book publishing deal and line of beauty-products. Through an analysis of Pony’s blog and books, this chapter identifies key elements that have led to her success. Keywords: blogger, publishing, makeup tutorial, blook Introduction As a little girl growing up in South Korea, Hye-Min Park was fascinated by makeup. In her early twenties, while working as a graphic designer, she posted makeup tips online and decided in 2008 to start her own makeup blog on Cyworld (K. 2016). Her blogs found an immediate audience, and she quickly parlayed that success book publications, a line of makeup, and a career as a cosmetics expert. Known internationally as Pony, Hye-Min Park's story offers a fascinating backdrop for considering how this blogger turned her talent and technical into a prolific career in the beauty industry. By discussing Pony’s publishing experience as case study, this article provides few elements that should be considered when transferring from blog to “blook” writing.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.

    Christopher Kenneally at PUBWEST interviewing Susan Daffron, CEO of Logical Expressions KENNEALLY: Welcome to another edition of Beyond the Book. My name is Chris Kenneally. I’m the Director of Author Relations for Copyright Clearance Center, and very happy to welcome an author and publisher with a very interesting perspective on the new world of print on demand publishing. Welcome, Susan Daffron. DAFFRON: Thanks. It’s great to be here. KENNEALLY: Susan, I could read three or four different bios for you. I mean, I’m looking at several of your books here. Susan Daffron is a former animal shelter volunteer veterinary technician and owner of six shelter critters. That’s one bio. Susan Daffron and her husband James Byrd also own Logical Expressions Incorporated, and have helped many clients create business Websites in addition to their own series of award-winning, high-traffic content sites. They operate their business from their log home deep in the forests of Idaho. And, well, there’s several more different bios of you. But why I thought we would want to chat today – and we’ve met at the Publishers Association of the West conference here in Portland – is some of the insights that you’ve garnered from personal experience about online publishing, selling of books online, but particularly making print on demand technology work for authors and for publishers. And I suppose the place to start is, give us an idea of your background, and what qualified you particularly – or what, I should say, prepared you for, you know, realizing the real potential of this new technology? DAFFRON: Well, I actually have been in publishing in one way or another for a very long time, actually since about 1988.
