Chapter 1: eReading Devices and Their Capabilities by Pariah S. Burke Pdf

The first thing to under­stand about dig­i­tal pub­lish­ing is what devices peo­ple use to con­sume dig­i­tal con­tent, includ­ing what types of pub­li­ca­tions each device class can sup­port, how peo­ple use the devices, and where eread­ing hard­ware is headed. You will find a star­tling array of devices on the mar­ket, but ulti­mately there are only four classes of devices on which dig­i­tal pub­li­ca­tions are consumed. In this chap­ter, you will learn about the following: Device Classes eRead­ers Tablets Computers Mobile Phones Hybrid Devices Future Devices Designing for Devices

Chapter 2: Digital Publishing Formats and Their Capabilities by Pariah S. Burke Pdf

Like devices, epub­li­ca­tion for­mats are numer­ous and var­ied, with dif­fer­ences, some­times sub­tle, between them, but large diver­gences in pur­pose, capa­bil­ity and device sup­port. Consequently, it’s most log­i­cal and pro­duc­tive to think of epub­li­ca­tions in terms of for­mat classes, with each class offer­ing a par­tic­u­lar com­bi­na­tion of pur­pose, capa­bil­ity, and device support. In this chap­ter, you will learn about the fol­low­ing formats: Reflowable EPUBFixed-LayoutKindle FormatsPDF

Now that we’ve exam­ined the char­ac­ter­is­tics and capa­bil­i­ties of the avail­able dig­i­tal pub­li­ca­tion for­mats, it’s time to think about the kind of con­tent you want to dis­sem­i­nate dig­i­tally. It’s all rather sub­jec­tive, but I’ll iden­tify the pur­pose, char­ac­ter and use of dif­fer­ent pub­li­ca­tion types as well as explain which for­mat classes are best suited to each type.

Chapter 4 by Jack Lu,Manta Zhang Pdf

The High Technology Sector of the Licensing Executives Society (U.S.A. and Canada) conducted the second Deal Term and Royalty Survey in 2014. The 2014 Survey received 94 samples of licensing transactions occurred from 2011 to the first half of 2014. To explore the market dynamics, this report analyzes the combined data of the 2011 and 2014 Survey, which includes a total of 322 samples, the largest size of survey-based samples ever studied in licensing industry. This chapter presents the descriptive statistics of the licensing transactions paid in flat running royalty rates expressed as percentage of sales and those paid in lump sum payments. The 2014 Survey also added questions about patent sales and exclusive transfers (i.e., privateering deals), and some preliminary statistics are also reported, though the sample size is very limited. The chapter reports the means and medians of running royalty rates, lump sum payments, and asset prices, and also tabulates descriptive statistics by characteristics of licensor/licensee, performance of licensed products, number and type of IP licensed, field of use, technology type and development stage, and certain licensing terms such as exclusivity, co-marketing, and auxiliary payments.

Academic E-Books by Suzanne M. Ward,Robert S. Freeman,Judith M. Nixon Pdf

Academic E-Books: Publishers, Librarians, and Users provides readers with a view of the changing and emerging roles of electronic books in higher education. The three main sections contain contributions by experts in the publisher/vendor arena, as well as by librarians who report on both the challenges of offering and managing e-books and on the issues surrounding patron use of e-books. The case study section offers perspectives from seven different sizes and types of libraries whose librarians describe innovative and thought-provoking projects involving e-books. Read about perspectives on e-books from organizations as diverse as a commercial publisher and an association press. Learn about the viewpoint of a jobber. Find out about the e-book challenges facing librarians, such as the quest to control costs in the patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) model, how to solve the dilemma of resource sharing with e-books, and how to manage PDA in the consortial environment. See what patron use of e-books reveals about reading habits and disciplinary differences. Finally, in the case study section, discover how to promote scholarly e-books, how to manage an e-reader checkout program, and how one library replaced most of its print collection with e-books. These and other examples illustrate how innovative librarians use e-books to enhance users’ experiences with scholarly works.
