What, Why, and How? Publishers, Ebooks, and Theological Libraries

Abstract

Independent religious publishers and Atla librarians gathered to share information about publishers’ e-book processes and practices. Publishers received questions from the Atla Collection Evaluation and Development Interest Group in advance. Each editor was given ten minutes to discuss current projects and e-book practices. In addition, the publisher representatives also discussed Amazon’s Kindle platform, along with library or seminary needs for e-books of older and out-of-print materials.
