G. STREAMLINING YOUR BUSINESS. As companies grow, "islands of data" form in business systems (such as Cat's Pajamas, S3-CISPUB, iPUB, etc.), in marketing databases, on Web sites, etc.

A cost-effective EDI service can plug in, too, all of which decreases costs and increases revenue by reducing errors and handling the information once.

eBOOKS – FINALLY
2003 may go down as the year of the eBook. I have been talking about electronic books for some ten years—since a presentation in Tucson in the early 90s. Many people expected the eBook to take off toward the end of the 90s. Some publishers invested a lot of money trying to catch up. The hype did not make the conversion happen
Now the times are different. The infrastructure is in place and economics dictate a better way to disseminate information (nonfiction) and entertainment (fiction). Amazon, B&N and others are making eBooks available for download. The Internet makes dissemination of eBooks fast and easy. See the URLs listed below to understand the eBook dissemination infrastructure.
The major driving force behind the eBook revolution is economics. It costs too much to cut down trees, make paper, print books, ship them to stores and advertise to get customers in to the stores. Costs increase when unsold books are returned for pulping.
How are eBooks selling? Last year, the sales were up 1,442%. But how did they sell against traditional paper books? We need numbers to compare. Until a lot of books are offered side-by-side in several formats (editions), we will not know. For example, see Dreamcatcher by Stephen King at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743211383/
Stephen King wrote the book once and it is being sold in seven different formats. Imagine seeing your books offered at Amazon.com in several different editions.
FOR A LIST OF CONTENT CONVERSION PROVIDERS, see
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/partners/conversionproviders.asp
Some of the larger publishers are charging near full price for eBooks—presumably so as not to cannibalize sales of their pBooks. Then after a few moths, they lower the price to a more reasonable amount, often $7.99.
Microsoft about to push eBooks. It is reported that their research shows that when people give eBooks a try they like the experience. Microsoft is betting on eBooks to help grow the industry.
Microsoft recently announced a summer free eBook promotion for users of its Microsoft Reader software. The 20-week promotion will feature three new titles each week, including works such as "A Short History of Nearly Everything," by Bill Bryson; "The Joy Luck Club," by Amy Tan and "Fear Itself," by Walter Mosley. The company will require that users upgrade (no charge) to version 2.0 of its Microsoft Reader software to take advantage of the offer. Microsoft also says that it partnered with Fictionwise to begin offering a weekly eBook newsletter. See http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030702/sfw017_1.html

Business travelers like to use hand-held readers such as the Palm and the Pocket PC. These devices can store a calendar, address book, audio files (music) and hundreds of books. Palm devices are lower-weight and lower-volume than printed books (pBooks). When businesspeople begin flying again, eBook use will take off with them.
My new i700 from Samsung/Verizon has all the above features plus it is a cell phone with 1xRT cellular service (up to 144 kbps). Now I can also do my email research the Web wirelessly from nearly anywhere. Any email I can do on the road is not waiting for me when I (briefly) return home.
At the BEA book fair in Los Angeles, a number of the hand-held computer hardware and software providers joined in a special exhibit. Many people toured every booth.
Next year, publishers exhibiting at the BEA should provide advanced reading copies of their eBooks just as they currently offer forthcoming pBooks. Fair visitors should be encouraged to bring their hand-held computers to download books on site. Publishers should also distribute books on CD for those who have forgotten their Palms/Pocket PCs.
EBOOK READERS (hardware) provide info-to-go: they make the electronic information portable. You can make your entire book available for eBooks in PDF and other formats. Here are the major players. See their Web sites for details.

DISTRIBUTION: OTHER WEB SITES. You can put the entire book on other Web sites for downloading. Since these sites are proliferating at a great rate and because their offerings are constantly evolving, minimal information is given below. For example, Para Publishing sells some books in eFormat (more to come soon). You can read them or print them out. We have elected not to sell the eBooks directly but to use dealers such as those below. See the sites for more information.

“Today there are only two types of publishers: those in danger of missing the electronic boat and those who do not even know there is a boat to catch.”
ePROMOTION. eBook galleys and review copies can be sent to literary reviewers electronically. A much less expensive alternative to printing and Postal delivery. eBooks may be posted on web sites for the reviewers and email notifications can be sent directing them to the page on the site.
Authors still need a pBook for credibility. A printed book is perceived as more authoritative than an eBook. Once the pBook is completed, making an eBook is easy and inexpensive. The eBook is frosting-on-the-cake revenue. It is "found money". Eventually, most books will be published as eBooks first; pBooks will not be printed until there is a demonstrated demand.
We may look back in a few years to remember that eBooks reached critical mass or the Tipping Point in 2003.

A. When you need a lift. See
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~geoffo/humour/flattery.html
B. THE REFERENCE LIBRARIAN FILE. Following are some real and imagined responses of reference librarians to patron queries that I picked up on a ref librarian listserve.
--Lee Xavier, editor-in-chief, Anvil Publishers, http://www.anvilpub.com
REAL QUESTIONS, REAL ANSWERS
Caller: I have a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. It's all blue with swirly stars on it. Can you tell me where I can get it appraised?
Reference Librarian: Sir, does it say '"Metropolitan Museum of Art" on the bottom?
Caller: Yes.
Reference Librarian: Well, what you have there is a poster that is sold in the museum's gift shop. I think they're about $10.00.
Student patron: I have to write a two-page paper on the Civil War. Can you help?
Reference Librarian: What aspect of the war interests you?
Patron: What aspect? You mean I have to choose something in particular? I thought I'd just write about the whole thing.
Student patron: Do you have any copies of newspapers published on the day after Jesus was born? I need to see how the event was covered.
Patron: I need to find out who was elected President in the past ten years.
Reference Librarian: Here's the World Almanac. See, it lists election
results in 1992, 1996, and so on.
Patron: Well, what about 1993, 1994, 1995, etc.?
Patron: I need to get books for my son's assignment on the invention of television. Do you have a book on the inventor? I know it was Mr. Sony, if you can just tell me where the biographies are.
