ALCTS webinar: Buying Library Materials on the Out-of-Print Book Market
Description: The out-of-print market offers advantages to libraries that
are willing to tap into this source of millions of books. This webinar
will explain how the distinctions between the print and out-of-print
marketplace are blurring. The presentation will show how the
out-of-print market offers potential cost-savings and allows libraries
to build retrospective collections, and replace missing items. In some
cases, purchasing the out-of-print book may be a cost effective
substitute for interlibrary loan.
Presenter: Bob Holley, a Professor of Library and Information Science at
Wayne State University, has been involved in the out-of-print book
market for the last five years since he co-authored the first
statistical study on pricing and availability of out-of-print materials
on the Internet. He has run or helped with book sales for four different
library organizations. He is also a small Internet book vendor and can
share his insights on selling materials.
A second session on “Maximizing Revenue from Selling Withdrawn Books and
Unwanted Gifts” will be presented on October 27, 2010
Date: October 6, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
