The Australian Publishers Association ran a 2 day workshop in Sydney for small to medium publishers on 2,3 March
I was asked to speak at the well attended workshop. The library perspective is often misunderstood and sometimes even overlooked by many publishers.
Being able to discuss the library perspective for both learning and leisure sectors was a great opportunity.
I'm sure we will see more Australian digital content in the near future.
Purchasing Australian electronic products provide publishers with the resources to invest more into the digital space. A significant barrier has been overcome with digital as export opportunities are not restricted by freght and shipping costs. Australian publishers and authors have excellent export oportunities as more digital content is adopted globally.
As an aside as I was researching content for the paper I found that typically 3-400 tones of water is required to produce 1 ton of paper. 'E' has a significant environmental impact too.
