I wanted to touch base and see if presses are still utilizing chapter abstracts and keywords. If so:

  • What library aggregators take them?
  • How do you store and feed them?
  • Do you have a streamlined workflow? Or, is it a different workflow for each aggregator?
  • Do you use them internally or for other purposes?

And maybe someone decided to make the eBook price 80% of the print price, which is pretty common.

We had to add a separate "Agency" price for Apple eBooks, and the price must end in $.99. Apple also requires separate pricing supplied for every territory, while most channels only need USD.

How are you writing the price metadata for Open Access titles?

We were using $0.00, however CoreSource recently launched an Unpriced Item metadata tag, which wipes out of the price entirely. Some vendors can read this code, such as Project Muse, however Amazon does not.

Does anyone have any suggestions for prices? We'd like to…[Read more]

It seems to have helped the EBSCO situation. No idea if any other vendors are using the data, but we send it. SubjectSchemeIdentifier "04"

Does anyone currently include Library of Congress Subject Headings in outgoing metadata? It's been suggested that we include it but we're not sure if it is worth implementing at this time or how common it is to include. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks,

Not really. Sales reps are still asking me only to list hardcovers as related products, and Dave at Yankee Book Peddler is still asking me to list them separately. This time around I just created a second catalog that listed them all separately, and left them as related products in the regular seasonal catalog.

I'm new in this group and am curious to know if you got this question resolved, and if so, what was ultimately decided and why? Thanks in advance!

A quick perusal of their website and documentation is fairly daunting, so I was wondering if other presses are submitting…[Read more]

Curious if anyone is using LoC's ONIX feed feature to apply for CIP data. We at SUNY are attempting to prep ONIX feeds for this but we can't get the LoC to respond to our requests. If anyone has feeds they could share as an example, that would be really helpful!

And it's definitely the case that Amazon is a master of being obscure.
