The spread of information and communication technologies into publishing is generally seen as a boon - to authors, publishers, readers and a number of intermediaries such as libraries.

Like many of the technologies associated with the ‘knowledge society’, publishing technologies are often interpreted as part of a welcome process of democratization, allowing individual authors and organizations to publish reasonably high quality books of their own creation. This paper examines the value-added processes of publishing from the perspective of the Centre for Information Studies, Charles Sturt University - a small, niche librarianship publisher in Australia, with a strong record of book publishing and the beginnings of a presence in e-publishing. Based on the Centre's experience, the paper suggests that the costs of publishing in a growing, competitive and global market make it increasingly difficult for publishers to continue adding value in what many have come to call a knowledge society. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of the Book is the property of Common Ground Research Networks and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
