Connecting New Zealand to the Rest of the World Through E-books

Publishing Perspectives - By Paula Browning, CEO, Copyright Licensing Ltd

Several New Zealand publishing organizations have collaborated to digitize and sell the country’s books globally under the brand "Great New Zealand E-books." The mission is to provide New Zealand rights holders with access to a world-class digital asset management and distribution system, and to ensure that "by 2013, New Zealand digital books are being read throughout the world."


DISCUSSION:
Should Small Nations Collectively Digitize Their Work?
Should small market nations bring together a collective to digitize the publishers holdings when doing so as individual publishers might otherwise prove unfeasible?
