Direct-selling to institutions by publishers proved a thorny issue at the Bookseller Association's Academic, Professional and Specialist conference in Brighton yesterday (12th March). Giving a welcoming address at the event at the Old Ship Hotel, Dan Johns, the chairman of the BA's academic group, warned he would stop providing publishers with vital information if they continued to sell directly to universities. |
Publishers gave guarded responses. Richard Mollet, c.e.o of The Publishers Association said on the subject: "We will reiterate the point at our meetings with publishers but there is some experimentation with the business model going on at the moment."
