With the increasing importance of digital publishing, more than half the titles published in the United States are self-published. With this growth in self-published materials, librarians, publishers, and vendors have been forced to rethink channels of production, distribution, and access as it applies to the new content. Self-Publishing and Collection Development: Opportunities and Challenges for Libraries addresses multiple aspects of how public and academic libraries can deal with the increase in self-published titles.</div></div></div></li><li class=""><div id="s-lg-content-24234306" class="s-lg-book clearfix"><div class="s-lg-book-props"><a href="https://ala.on.worldcat.org/oclc/48795944" target="_blank" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '3',_st_content_id: '24234306',_st_inc_return: this});"><span id="s-lg-book-cover-24234306" class="s-lg-book-cover"><img loading="lazy" alt="" src="//syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0810842718/LC.GIF&client=springshare" class="pull-left s-lg-book-cover-img-0" /></span><span id="s-lg-book-title-24234306" class="s-lg-book-title">Marketing to Libraries for the New Millennium</span><span id="s-lg-book-by-24234306" class="s-lg-book-by"> by </span><span id="s-lg-book-author-24234306" class="s-lg-book-author">Hendrik Edelman (Editor); Robert P.

Discussion topics include buying consortia; mergers and acquisitions; discussion lists versus traditional review media; on-demand print services; advances in approval plans, blanket orders, and leasing plans; the development of collaborative services; and the omnipresent importance of price. Also included are the questionnaire and results of the 1999 'Third Industry-Wide Survey of Library Marketing Practices and Trends.</div></div></div></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="row s-lg-row"><div id="s-lg-col-127" class="col-md-12"><div class="s-lg-col-boxes s-lg-box-special"><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-34086695" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-34086695"><div id="s-lg-box-28987149-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-28987149" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std"> <h2 class="s-lib-box-title">Contact</h2><div id="s-lg-box-collapse-28987149" > <div class="s-lib-box-content">  <div id="s-lib-profile-76476" class="s-lib-profile-container"> <a href="//libguides.ala.org/prf.php?id=59ccc807-7cdb-11ed-9922-0ad758b798c3"> <div id="s-lib-profile-image-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-center s-lib-profile-image"> <img loading="lazy" src="//d2jv02qf7xgjwx.cloudfront.net/accounts/87286/profiles/76476/ALA_Library_resized_smaller.jpg" alt="Profile Photo"/> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-name-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-center s-lib-profile-name" style=""> ALA Library </div> </a> <div id="s-lib-profile-pronouns-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-center s-lib-profile-pronouns"> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-email-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-center s-lib-profile-email"> <a title="library@ala.org" href="mailto:library@ala.org" class="label label-info">Email Me</a> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-widget-la-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-widget-la"> <div class="s-lib-profile-widget"></div> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-widget-lc-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-widget-lc"> <div class="s-lib-profile-widget"></div> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-widget-other-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-widget-other"> <div class="s-lib-profile-widget"></div> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-contact-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-contact"> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-social-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-social"> </div> <div id="s-lib-profile-subjects-76476" class="s-lib-profile-div s-lib-profile-subjects"> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> <ul id="s-lg-page-prevnext" class="pager s-lib-hide"><li class="previous"></li><li class="next"><a href="https://libguides.ala.org/marketing-to-libraries/reviews"><strong>Next:</strong> Reviews as a Selection Tool >></a></li></ul></div>   <div id="s-lib-footer-public" class="s-lib-footer footer container s-lib-side-borders"> <div id="s-lg-guide-header-meta" class="pad-top-sm pad-left-med clearfix"> <ul id="s-lg-guide-header-attributes" class=""> <li id="s-lg-guide-header-updated" class="s-lg-h-separator"> <span class="s-lg-guide-label">Last Updated:</span> <span class="s-lg-text-greyout">Sep 17, 2024 12:54 PM</span> </li> <li id="s-lg-guide-header-url" class="s-lg-h-separator"> <span class="s-lg-guide-label">URL:</span> <span class="s-lg-text-greyout">https://libguides.ala.org/marketing-to-libraries</span> </li> <li id="s-lg-guide-print-url"> <a href="javascript: window.print();"><i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true" title="Print Page"></i> Print Page</a> </li> </ul> <div id="s-lib-footer-login-link" class="pull-right pad-right-med"> <a href="https://ala.libapps.com/libapps/login.php?site_id=8424&target64=L2xpYmd1aWRlcy9hZG1pbl9jLnBocD9nPTU0NjIyMiZwPTM3NDY5OTk=">Login to LibApps</a> </div> </div> <div class="pad-bottom-sm clearfix"> <div id="s-lib-footer-support-link" class="pull-right pad-right-med"> </div> <div id="s-lg-guide-header-subjects" class="pad-top-sm pad-left-med pad-right-med pull-left"> </div> <div id="s-lg-guide-header-tags" class="pad-top-sm pad-left-med"> <span class="s-lg-guide-label">Tags: </span><span class="s-lg-small bold"><a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=advertising&default_lg=1">advertising</a>, <a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=book+reviews&default_lg=1">book reviews</a>, <a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=indie+publishers&default_lg=1">indie publishers</a>, <a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=marketing+to+libraries&default_lg=1">marketing to libraries</a>, <a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=self-published+books&default_lg=1">self-published books</a>, <a href="https://libguides.ala.org/srch.php?tag=small+press&default_lg=1">small press</a></span> </div> </div> </div>   <div id="s-lib-scroll-top"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="jQuery('body').focus();" title="Back to Top" aria-label="Back to Top"> <span class="fa-stack fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa fa-square-o fa-stack-2x"></i> <i class="fa fa-angle-double-up fa-stack-1x" style="position:relative; bottom:2px;"></i> </span> </a> </div>  <div id="s-lib-alert" title=""><div id="s-lib-alert-content"></div></div>   </body> </html>
