This seminar will discuss and analyse the international library consortia landscape, focusing mostly on Europe and the USA. Both libraries and publishers will share their experiences, plans, expectations and strategies going forward. <\/p>\n
The focus will be on how the consortia market is evolving, which ones are more or less affected by budget cuts, what strategies have they put in place to safeguard their collections (is it really the end of the “big deal”?).
\nLibrarians and publishers will aim to give the audience some ideas on what has worked and what has not in the past and what needs to change. We will discuss how the recent recession has impacted both publishers and library consortia and what they feel they need to be doing about it, in light of the ongoing funding crisis. Also, this seminar should benefit smaller publishers and suggests possible strategies in order to get their content onto the consortia maps. <\/p>\n
Who should attend: Sales and marketing professionals, from scholarly publishers of all sizes and types. Anyone responsible for, or with an interest in, sales of books, journals, databases or other content to the scholarly and academic library market. Publishing professionals who are already working with consortia or looking to break into the market; librarians or consortia staff and agents involved in consortia agreements.<\/p>\n
