    Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing

    Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing By Anthony Watkinson Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 Abstract Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing examines the suggestion that the so-called monograph crisis can be overcome by making use of the possibilities of electronic publishing. Research monographs are the preferred way in which scholarship is communicated in most disciplines in the humanities and some in the social sciences. The problems faced by publishers influence the practices of the scholars themselves. This study examines the nature of the crisis in the print environment, the aspirations of scholarly publishers in the electronic environment and the attitudes of and impacts on other parts of the information chain. There is as yet little experience of electronic monographs, so the emphasis is on the projections of the various players and on the major experiments that are being funded. There is nevertheless consideration of the practical aspects of making content available in digital form. No immediate solution is presented but there are pointers to fruitful future developments. Anthony Watkinson is an independent consultant with three decades of experience in scholarly publishing. He was a pioneer in putting scholarly journals online.

    101 Chapter Books to Read (Or Hear) Before You Grow Up

    101 Chapter Books to Read (or Hear) Before You Grow Up feelslikehomeblog.com /2013/04/101-chapter-books-to-read-before-you-grow-up/ Tara Ziegmont It is worth noting that Grace loves a particular series of fairy books, but I hate them. Hate them. The text is dull and not well written. It’s the book form of candy, empty words without any redeeming intellectual value. There are probably books in your children’s lives that are the same way. Why not feed their little brains with good literature instead of junk books? Just like I limit the junk food in Grace’s belly, I limit the junk books in her brain. I’ll loosen up a little when she’s old enough to read her own books, but as long as I’m doing the reading, we are reading the good stuff. If I am going to take the time to read to Gracie (and I do, every single day), I want to hear her a book that is stimulating. I want a story that draws me in and makes me want to read just one more chapter! I want it to expand what Gracie knows – either in experiences or feelings or understanding of the world. I want a story with layers – something she may come back to again as an older kid or even an adult. There is no junk food here. (There’s also no junk food on my list of 101 Picture Books to Read or Hear Before You Grow Up. ) I’ve read almost every one of these books, either in my own childhood or recently.

The purpose of the thesis was to do profound research on the eBook market in the USA for the case company Litnet. The importance of this research derives from the case company’s interest in the market. The research conducted for Litnet was made by utiliZing several marketing research frameworks such as PEST analysis, Porter’s Five Forces model, and SWOT analysis. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied in the study. The research discovered that the overall attractiveness of the US market is high for Litnet. The research showed that the industry infrastructure is favourable. The market is characterized by a high level of rivalry and low en- trance barriers. There are different models of eBooks distribution, such as traditional per copy sales, subscription services, and pay per chapter services. The market may experience pressure from audiobooks and print books sales. Litnet may use the differentiation strategy to escape the direct competition in the market. The research gives an overview of the eBook market in the USA and analyses prerequisites for Litnet's possible market strate- gies.
