15 BREAK-OUT SESSION QUESTIONS: 1.Do eBooks require special
programs of information literacy to maximize uptake among students?
Which way are your faculty leaning with eBooks, and do they require
any orientation/support? 2.What have you done technically to
maximize discovery of the eContent that you have purchased? What
would you like to do in the future? (eContent can be: e- journals
or online reference works, eBooks, databases.) 3.What constitutes
good use of an eBook or a collection of eBooks? Define use in any
number of ways, and give the level that must be achieved to be
counted as good. A justified expenditure of effort, money, etc.
4.What are some of the challenges YOUR library has faced in terms
of developing its digital library and/or acquiring eBooks?

27 The Selection Process: Books/eBooks Publishing editors apply
expertise in specialty areas (many editors hold advanced degrees in
their fields) Authors may be recommended/invited, solicited by
publishing editors, or submit over the transom Proposal checklist
(project description, CV and publishing record, positioning,
promotional platforms, writing samples); additional materials
requested at the discretion of publishing editor and/or series
editor Review by series editor(s), external reviewers, and internal
colleagues; textbooks require reviews from potential adopters
(specific policies and practices vary by subject area) Internal
review by marketing and approval/rejection by Editorial Director
Contract offered Manuscripts may be submitted to external review
prior to acceptance for publication
Slide 28
28 The Selection Process: Journal Articles Journal posts Aims
& Scope, instructions for submission, and lists editor(s)-
in-chief and editorial board members Articles may be
commissioned/invited or submitted over the transom; special issues
promoted through calls-for-papers Authors submit online directly to
editor(s) or through submission-and- tracking system (e.g.,
Editorial Manager, Manuscript Central) Editorial responsibility
assigned; after desk rejections, peer reviewers invited (usually
2-5 reviews for each article); reviews may be single-blind or
double- blind Editor-in-chief has ultimate authority for decisions
(accept, reject, revise-and- resubmit); many established and
highly-ranked journals have rejection rates in excess of 90% The
same editorial processes are applied whether a journal is
subscription- based or Open Access

30 Growth Strategies (Business, Economics & Statistics)
Addition of acquiring editors (Beijing, Tokyo, Delhi) to develop
local authors writing in English New product lines (e.g.,
SpringerBriefs) Co-publishing and collaborative arrangements with
universities, societies, and research institutes Converting authors
from one medium to another (e.g., journal articles =>
SpringerBriefs; SpringerBriefs => monographs) Focus on core
areas (depth) + expansion to new areas (breadth) Non-traditional
sources (e.g., researchers from anthropology, engineering,
psychology) Development of Open Access journals
