This paper explores the topic of electronic books (e-books) and the effect that these digital devices and other new technologies
has on the publishing industry. Contemporary society often claims that the publishing industry is dying and that the innovation
of the e-book will eventually sentence the printed book to death. But this study will show that such is not the case. While
it is true that the world is undergoing a digital revolution, publishers today have not been left in the dust, because these
firms have embraced electronic publishing (e-publishing). The invention of e-books opens a world of opportunities and since
the e-book market is still in its growth stage, there is much work left to be done. As with any new venture, the industry
faces certain challenges, such as piracy, but with tools like encryption, digital asset management (DAM), digital rights management
(DRM), and digital object identifiers (DOI), publishers are well on the way to a solution. While it is safe to say that the
digital revolution has forever changed the face of publishing, e-books could actually revitalize the industry. No one knows
what the future of e-publishing will hold, but developments affect publishing houses, authors, and consumers alike. And while
the ultimate fate of the printed book is yet unknown, for now, it is here to stay. 相似文献

This study investigates the current status and attitudes towards academic e-book publishing by mainland Chinese academic publishers through an online survey. This study collected survey data from 49 authoritative academic publishers in China, focusing on their e-book sales profiles and their perceptions of how e-book sales affect publishers and libraries. The data reveals that China's academic e-book industry is still at an early development stage and has a relatively small market. The findings show significant differences in the willingness and attitudes towards e-book publishing between SSH publishers and STEM publishers, and also demonstrate that the enhancement of the demand for e-books by academic libraries promotes the process of the digital transformation of academic publishers. This study then argues that Chinese academic publishers need to further improve the quality of academic e-books, accelerate the transition from academic content providers to academic content service providers, and strengthen their cooperation with stakeholders. 相似文献

The Editech 2011 conference identified that publishers need to follow new paths and experiment more rapidly in all the areas
of business related to a growing number of new digital publishing activities. Most important they need to rethink all the
relationships actually in place with all the other factors in the publishing value chain and then radically reinvent their
role in the quickly changing digital and ebook businesses. It is clear that now most of the changes are driven by the big
three Google, Amazon, Apple and the publishers are following. However, especially in Europe the publishers have different
approaches based on a brief review of selected key papers presented from different countries and sectors of the digital publishing
industry. 相似文献

Advancements in digital technology are making waves in the publishing industry and e-publishing is starting to make its mark in the market. Although publishers view e-publishing as an opportunity to exploit products and new distribution channels, some of them are seeing this development as a risk rather than an opportunity, and thus are not willing to participate in these changes. This study was conducted to determine the readiness of e-publishing among Malaysian book publishers based on the E-Publishing Readiness Assessment Model. The results found that publishers in Malaysia are prepared in terms of infrastructure and human resources. However, only a small percentage of them are willing to practice e-publishing by publishing at least one e-book, while the majority is taking a wait and see approach before they start issuing e-books. Interviews with two companies displaying high levels of e-readiness and low e-readiness, showed a willingness depend on the decision of the company’s top management. In addition, external factors such as market demand, technological pressure, competition, consumer habits and police and government policies also affect the results of the top management to run e-publishing in their respective companies. Through these findings, the government and agencies involved in the publishing industry may be able to help find a solution when designing a strategy for improving e-publishing practices in Malaysia. 相似文献

The Arab print publishing industry is characterized by variety and complexity due to a combination of geographical and cultural
diversity. This has resulted in Arab publishers facing a number of challenges, and this article aims to shed light on some
of the most common problems faced by the industry—distribution, censorship and piracy—as well as examining the impact of digital
books on this fledgling industry and how digital publishing can be used to overcome some of these problems. 相似文献

外文电子期刊数据库捆绑纸本订购模式分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
随着期刊市场纸本与电子共同出版模式的形成,以及期刊出版业的垄断集团化,为了获取高额利润,一些出版商采取纸本与电子版捆绑销售模式来销售电子期刊数据库,其捆绑模式有保留现有纸本订购、规定一个最低订购额以及提供E-only和纸本+电子捆绑三种形式。随着图书馆馆藏数字化,出版商的纸本捆绑销售出现了一些转变,有的出版商允许用户将纸本刊转成电子刊,有的允许用户取消纸本载体转而支付电子内容费,有的取消纸本捆绑启用E-only模式,但这些转变并没有给用户节省多少费用,并没有在真正意义上取消纸本捆绑,只是出版商换了一种销售方式而已。 相似文献

A panel which included a librarian, publisher and e-book providers presented issues confronting the growth of e-books in the academic library marketplace. The e-book market projections are a small part of the higher education book market. Frontlist titles are demanded by libraries with suppliers eager to supply such titles. However, publishers are feeling their way through various rights and contract issues as well as business models as they determine which frontlist titles to provide in electronic form. The instability of business partners has contributed to publisher delays in releasing titles as e-books. No one, (librarians, suppliers, publishers) is throwing in the towel on e-books but the position this format takes in the publishing industry and therefore in library collections in the near future is unsettled. 相似文献

Research was undertaken amongst publishers and potential users of e-book travel guides. In addition, a major UK consultant
in electronic publishing was interviewed on the subject. The research demonstrated that, despite the considerable hype and
enthusiasm about e-books, there is some way to go before a viable market is likely to be realised. In particular, issues of
standardisation are holding up the launch of a realistic number of titles. Copyright is also a concern for the publishers.
Publishers appear to be over-concerned with the book metaphor, and are not yet thinking ambitiously enough about multimedia
and other added value possibilities. Unless these value added enhancements are supplied, users are unlikely to switch from
print volumes. 相似文献

The print publishing industry today is very different from what it was 5 years ago, or even 1 year ago. Developments in book manufacturing technology, the pressures to reduce print runs due to the impact in the growth of e-books and comprehensive distribution models, have given way to a new efficient book supply chain that has made more content available to consumers than ever before, and, has dramatically streamlined how books get into the hands of readers worldwide. 相似文献

E-books have increasingly penetrated the academic world. However, despite efforts from Vietnamese universities and colleges to establish and broaden their e-books collection, students seem reluctant to use these digital books. This study aims to examine the barriers to using e-books in libraries among Vietnamese students. Data were obtained from 355 undergraduate students who were interested in e-books. The findings demonstrate that some key barriers impeding students from using e-books include the lack of computers and e-books in libraries, limited information and knowledge about e-books and their preference of using print books. Interestingly, female students tend to perceive the barriers to be stronger than their male counterparts. This study’s findings have important implications for universities, libraries and publishers who seek to promote e-books to students. 相似文献

In this article we will provide a general overview of the situation of the digital publishing in Europe starting from the
insights provided by the Editech conference, the international day of advanced study organized by the Italian Publishers Association
and focused on the trends, perspectives and applications of technological innovation in publishing at an international level.
It is the main Italian event dedicated to book publishing with the aim of helping publishers define their short- and medium-term
digital strategies, while being aware of the opportunities and risks involved in the conversion to digital of their business
model. The Editech 2010 main focus had been: the market and the national and international situation of digital publishing,
the new buying and reading behaviors of consumers, e-books and content for e-readers and mobile devices, new production processes
(XML, ePub, digital printing) and the distribution scenario and the diffusion of digital content. 相似文献

Enjoying widespread government support and encouragement for the digital projects of publishers and media industry. The Chinese publishing business continues to show steady development in the past year. At the same time, significant changes are taking place in the structure of the publishing industry. The content production, marketing, operating, and consumption are not linear upstream–downstream related any more. Instead, they have fused together, and thus formed a new industrial ecosphere. In this paper, we investigate the new technology research and practice in the digital publishing industry. There is obvious indication that new technology plays an important role in the structural change of the publishing industry. 相似文献

To succeed in a period of change, German book publishers need to adopt innovations, e.g., implement e-books into their product portfolio. Yet, in the book industry, the adoption of new technologies is not commonplace: Despite being the second biggest book market worldwide, only 1.2 % of all published books in Germany are available as e-books. This problem leads us to investigate the factors that determine whether publishing companies decide in favor or against entering the e-book market. Based on a standardized survey of more than 240 German publishing houses, barriers to innovation adoption are examined from a micro, meso and macro perspective. Our main findings show that individual characteristics of management and the company’s corporate culture strongly predict adoption. Also, organizational communication seems to be critical. Taking this into account, the key resource to enable innovation seems to be information underlining the necessity of communities of practice. 相似文献

Digital publishing has been considered as a panacea to bridge the gaps between different sized publishing companies: allowing small, independent companies to compete on an equal footing with cross-media conglomerates. However, this research discovered that Scottish publishers are not capitalising on new technology and new platforms for dissemination: this is detrimental to the authors they represent. The empirical research found that the majority of Scottish publishers are not fostering intellectual property rights (IPR) effectively across international markets and new media: The failure to do this means that the operational practices of the Scottish publishing industry are not in harmony with the burgeoning digital publishing environment. If Scottish publishers continue with current practices it will become increasingly difficult for them to compete in the national and international publishing environment. This study concludes that only by better training and knowledge exchange, in matters of rights exploitation and digital publishing, can Scottish publishers compete in the international arena and contribute to, and benefit financially from, the knowledge economy. 相似文献

The literature on evolving economic models in the electronic publishing industry of academic and scholarly communication has primarily been based on an ideology of economic efficiency. This ideology implies the role of print journals and publishers will become less dominant in the publishing industry since market forces predict a significant change in the flow of incentives and information between the various stakeholders. However, recent research suggests that this conclusion may be premature. Resisting forces, which manifest themselves via institutional, infrastructural and informational channels, seem strong enough to maintain the viability of print publishing in the medium term. 相似文献

Now that e-books and digital devices are active in the marketplace, publishers need to incorporate usability and user experience research and practice in their development process. Interaction design and UX research is well established in technology-driven industries; publishers have much to learn from these experts, for the betterment of their digital product and eventually, broader adoption of e-books by their customers. This article highlights the work and opinions of three UX, research and design practitioners as a first step in launching a tidal exchange of knowledge and ideas. 相似文献

图书馆按需打印的实践与未来 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
按需打印是出版行业的一次革命性变革,它使出版的形态发生变化,将对图书馆的未来发展产生重要影响。对于读者服务来说,自动印书机(EBM)的打印目录数据库增加了读者获取文献的渠道,其运用使读者能够根据需要自我汇编图书并打印。对于图书馆文献收藏策略来说,EBM+PDA模式将图书馆员从以往的揣测式采访的困境中解脱出来,使购买的文献就是真正流通的文献。但EBM存在价格昂贵、作者和出版商认可程度不高、没有配套适用的著作权法及相关法律等问题。 相似文献
