<http://utpjournals.metapress.com/content/01r753226544h6l2/> Creating a
Consolidated Online Catalogue for the University Press Community
Joseph J. Esposito
Abstract: This essay derives from a feasibility study into the possibility
of creating a consolidated online catalogue for university presses and was
underwritten by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and sponsored by The
Monterey Institute for Technology and Education; the essay is an abridgement
of the report submitted to Mellon and MITE. For more information on the
background, see the acknowledgments and disclosures at the end of this
paper.
The aim of this study was to identify a means by which university presses
could sell more books and, specifically, whether the creation of a
consolidated online catalogue of press titles would help in this regard. The
presses at this time vary considerably in terms of size, resources, and
familiarity with online marketing, though all of them are active to some
degree online and most identify Amazon as their largest customer. Despite
this activity, however, and even for the very largest presses, a press-wide
catalogue would augment sales by exploiting greater scale, enabling more
effective search-engine and other online marketing, by opening up new
promotional vehicles, and by strengthening individual press brands by
bringing more robust technology to each institution's efforts.

Abstract : The advent of online journals has opened a vast opportunity for
small journals published by a variety of institutions. It also has given
scholars many more options, from more general publications to far more
journals addressing very narrowly defined subjects, and it suggests that in
the near future the role of online journals and peer review will radically
change. The author proposes roles for user-generated content and university
libraries in the evaluation and publication of research.
