Lorcan Dempsey's weblog: QOTD: Books on the web
An interesting story about an academic imprint from Bloomsbury with a different business model ....
The imprint will use Creative Commons licences to allow non-commercial use of all its titles on publication. Pinter described it as "a major commitment to spreading knowledge more easily throughout the world, with a sustainable business model".
She said it was the first time a major publishing company had devoted a whole imprint to this model. "We think it will work for certain kinds of books: it will promote our titles, which will be known because the students will have easy access to them in a digital form, and we will be relying on the institutional market and library sales." Titles will be sold as books using short-run technologies and print-on-demand.
