Selling Digital Books to International University Libraries

Selling Digital Books to International University Libraries

This webinar will provide a complete overview of best practices in selling digital books to international university libraries in the German, French, Belgian, Swiss, Spanish, and Italian book markets, as well as of the opportunities and challenges that this presents to French-language and English-language Canadian publishers of all sizes.

Vast and complex, the European market of university libraries has structured itself around consortia, both in terms of supply and demand.

Designed to provide concrete information and strategies for Canadian publishers who seek to better understand and break into this market, this webinar will address:

  • the structure and scale of the university library market in Europe;
  • the structure and operation of wholesalers and distributors in the European market;
  • issues and challenges facing Canadian publishers and strategies for dealing with them.

This practical webinar will provide publishers with the necessary knowledge to help them increase their presence and sales in the European university market.
