Phase I continued: Publisher Sales Models


  • Institutional Subscriptions (requires continuing technical, organizational, and marketing infrastructure)
  • Institutional Sales (provide collected data to libraries, who have their own presentation/rights infrastructure)
  • CD-ROMs, though librarians grew to hate them
  • Very few successful "rent to individual" or "sale to individual" projects.
  • Many, many failures: ebooks on floppy, ebooks on CD, ebooks on E-Reader, etc.
