ALCTS
webinar: Maximizing Revenue from Selling Withdrawn Books and Unwanted Gifts
Description:
This webinar will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of four methods of
selling withdrawn books and unwanted gifts—book sales, sales to dealers,
consignments to Internet vendors, and selling directly on the Internet. The
session will provide tips for maximizing revenue and minimizing staff costs.
Many libraries could increase revenue, some significantly, by understanding the
various options.
This
webinar is a companion session to “Buying Library Materials on the
Out-of-Print Book Market” which is scheduled for October 6, 2010. Please

availability of out-of-print materials on the Internet. He has run or helped
with book sales for four different library organizations. He is also a
small Internet book vendor and can share his insights on selling materials.
