ALCTS webinar: Maximizing Revenue from Selling Withdrawn Books and
Unwanted Gifts
Date: October 27, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: This webinar will discuss the advantages and disadvantages
of four methods of selling withdrawn books and unwanted gifts—book
sales, sales to dealers, consignments to Internet vendors, and selling
directly on the Internet. The session will provide tips for maximizing
revenue and minimizing staff costs. Many libraries could increase
revenue, some significantly, by understanding the various options.
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.
This webinar is a companion session to “Buying Library Materials on the
Out-of-Print Book Market” which was presented October 6, 2010.
