ALCTS webinar: Maximizing Revenue from Selling Withdrawn
Books and Unwanted Gifts
Date: October 27, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm
Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
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and disadvantages of four methods of selling withdrawn books and unwanted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.
Presenter: Bob Holley, a Professor of Library and
Information Science at Wayne State University, has been involved in the
out-of-print book market for the last five years since he co-authored the first
statistical study on pricing and 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.
This webinar is a companion session to “Buying
Library Materials on the Out-of-Print Book Market” which was presented October
6, 2010.
