Central and Eastern European (CEE) is rapidly emerging as an important
market for scientific and academic publications. However, cultural
differences between countries of the ex-communist regime and the more
capitalistic countries of Western Europe and USA require a different sales
and marketing approach.
Pinar Erzin said “Accucoms has a significant amount of experience in this
region and it is in contact with many libraries on a daily basis from all
over CEE. After fielding many enquires about this region from our clients
and prospective clients, we decided to carry out a survey and publish the
results in a White Paper for the benefit of the academic publishing
community”.
The research identified what type of resources they currently have
available; what resources they want to include in the future, the preferred
format for resources, preferred methods of communication from publishers and
the importance of different aspects of customer service.
One of the key findings the report identified was that whilst libraries want
to subscribe to more electronic resources, they often do not have the
infrastructure or technical expertise to handle implementation of these
resources.
The White Paper is available from Accucoms at:
