ALCTS webinar: Maximizing Revenue from Selling Withdrawn Books and Unwanted Gifts
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selling withdrawn books and unwanted gifts—book sales, sales to dealers, consignments to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.
This webinar is a companion session to “Buying Library Materials on the Out-of-Print Book
Market” which is scheduled for October 6, 2010. Please see fees, for package rates.
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.
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.
