    Montana Tech Library Digital Commons @ Montana Tech Graduate Theses & Non-Theses Student Scholarship Fall 2019 Book Self-Publishing Best Practices Erica Jansma Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.mtech.edu/grad_rsch Part of the Communication Commons Book Self-Publishing Best Practices by Erica Jansma A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.S. Technical Communication Montana Tech 2019 ii Abstract I have taken a manuscript through the book publishing process to produce a camera-ready print book and e-book. This includes copyediting, designing layout templates, laying out the document in InDesign, and producing an index. My research is focused on the best practices and standards for publishing. Lessons learned from my research and experience include layout best practices, particularly linespacing and alignment guidelines, as well as the limitations and capabilities of InDesign, particularly its endnote functionality. Based on the results of this project, I can recommend self-publishers to understand the software and distribution platforms prior to publishing a book to ensure the required specifications are met to avoid complications later in the process. This document provides details on many of the software, distribution, and design options available for self-publishers to consider. Keywords: self-publishing, publishing, books, ebooks, book design, layout iii Dedication I dedicate this project to both of my grandmothers. I grew up watching you work hard, sacrifice, trust, and love with everything you have; it was beautiful; you are beautiful; and I hope I can model your example with a fraction of your grace and fruitfulness. Thank you for loving me so well.

  • Goodreads: a Social Network Site for Book Readers1 Mike Thelwall, Kayvan Kousha Statistical Cybermetrics Research Group, University of Wolverhampton, UK
    1 Goodreads: A social network site for book readers1 Mike Thelwall, Kayvan Kousha Statistical Cybermetrics Research Group, University of Wolverhampton, UK. Goodreads is an Amazon-owned book-based social web site for members to share books read, review books, rate books and connect with other readers. Goodreads has tens of millions of book reviews, recommendations and ratings that may help librarians and readers to select relevant books. This article describes a first investigation of the properties of Goodreads users, using a random sample of 50,000 members. The results suggest that about three quarters of members with a public profile are female, and that there is little difference between male and female users in patterns of behaviour, except for females registering more books and rating them less positively. Goodreads librarians and super users engage extensively with most features of the site. The absence of strong correlations between book-based and social usage statistics (e.g., numbers of friends, followers, books, reviews, and ratings) suggests that members choose their own individual balance of social and book activities and rarely ignore one at the expense of the other. Goodreads is therefore neither primarily a book-based website nor primarily a social network site but is a genuine hybrid, social navigation site. Introduction Goodreads is social website for “readers and book recommendations” (Goodreads 2015a) and has developed a large user base for its niche book-based social web services (Alexa.com rank: 285th most popular site in the world, as of October 2015, according to Alexa.com toolbar users). Goodreads appears to be a social network site based around books because it combines the friend relationship and communication elements of generic social network sites (SNSs), like Facebook (Ellison, 2007), with additional book-related features.

  • Amazon.Com: an Empire Stretching from Cardboard Box to Kindle to Cloud1 a Draft Chapter Provided for Comment
    Amazon.com: An Empire Stretching from Cardboard Box to Kindle to Cloud1 a draft chapter provided for comment. Will eventually be included in the Summer 2013 version of the award-winning & low-cost textbook “Information Systems: A Manager’s Guide to Harnessing Technology”. © Copyright 2013, John M. Gallaugher, Ph.D. – for more info see: http://www.gallaugher.com/ Draft version last modified: May 3, 2013 – comments welcome [email protected] INTRODUCTION: LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After studying this section you should be able to: 1. Appreciate the breadth of businesses that Amazon competes in. 2. Understand that Amazon’s financial performance has not been consistent. 3. Begin to recognize the reasons for this performance inconsistency and set the stage for the examination unfolding in subsequent sections. As CEO of tech industry research firm Forrester Research, George Colony is paid to predict the future. Firms spend big bucks for Forrester reports that cover trends and insight across the world of computing. So when Colony turned his attention to Amazon.com, the Internet retailer founded by Jeff Bezos, there were a lot of people paying attention. Colony proclaimed that the recently public firm would soon be “Amazon.toast” as larger traditional retailers arrived to compete online.1 Colony wasn’t the only Bezos-basher. Fortune, The Guardian, and Barron’s were among the publications to have labeled the firm “Amazon.bomb”. Bezos’ personal favorite came from a pundit who suggested the firm should be renamed “Amazon.org” adopting the domain of a non-profit since it’ll never make any money2. Amazon went seven whole years without turning a profit, losing over $3 billion during that time.
