my pleasure able to speak in the columns of Presseedition.fr ("The timeliness of the Media, Publishing and Communications") on my choice to be published in editions of 100% digital NumérikLivres, on the message that I I wanted to convey in my book "From the Library to Bibliosphère, the impact of digital books libraries and their evolution "and the new collection:" Understanding the Book Digital "including Jean-François Gayrard told me the direction, and, finally, what I think of reception which was reserved in my book.
All this answers four questions. Read here ...
Excerpts from the interview
"You've posted "From the Library Bibliosphère: the impact of digital books to libraries and their evolution ... "An editor at NumérikLivres French-Quebec 100% digital, why that choice?
Lorenzo Soccavo: This young house, founded in spring 2010 by Jean-François Gayrard Catalá and Gwen, well I think represents the attitudes of a new generation of a new way of design publishing .
A house, in this case between France and Québec, but whose employees may be scattered over the entire planet, that publishes books that natively digital with publishing agreements adapted, using social networks to promote, without DRM propels them at affordable prices (mine is at 1.99 €) and ensure both dissemination on major download platforms, their enjoy reading about major new reading devices, whether the electronic ink pads or the famous iPad, among others. A true multichannel MPT.
For an author, and an observer like me transition from print publishing to digital publishing precisely, it was an interesting experiment to try. When Jean-François Gayrard offered me this adventure and I said that we would François Bon friendship of a preface: I did not hesitate a second!
The future you imagine libraries in your book may appear somewhat futuristic. Do not you fear to offend the librarians?
Lorenzo Soccavo: Ultimately I guess pretty soon! With this new discipline that I am trying to promote: the foresight of books and publishing, the mutations that are going through the book and its market are systematically delivered in a historical perspective. To write this book, I relied on the one hand, the work of historians, on the other hand, the results of my work day.
few years ago when I said in lectures that we would one day be libraries without books, some thought I was crazy. But during the summer of 2010 two libraries without books were opened, Stanford, and San Antonio, Texas. When I write today that libraries will evolve into libraries at three levels-hub [...] when I say this now, Me are as reliable as when I announced the libraries without books.
The Internet of Things, augmented reality and artificial intelligence will truly make us move libraries to bibliosphère. These are precisely the ways that we are drawn I explore in "From the library to bibliosphère.
This book is the first of a collection whose editor Jean-Francois Gayrard gave you direction. What is it and how do you develop it?
Lorenzo Soccavo: This collection is named specifically: "Understanding the digital book. This indicates quite clearly I think his ambition, which is to explain and analyze the challenges and opportunities of digital publishing at all inter-actors of the book, broadly defined: authors, librarians, teachers, etc. ., are also involved, but all readers who simply want to try understand the impacts and challenges of the transition from print publishing to digital publishing . We believe
publish one title per month, except the hollow of the summer. The first to appear will address the social reading, comics digital textbooks and albums ... plus I also work with authors who will address other aspects of this portion of the printed edition to the digital edition: after the paper as, in effect: on what media we will read tomorrow? Or even on essential developments of the legal and copyright are no longer suitable.
This command works [...] That said, I remain open to all unsolicited proposals and any suggestions for topics. A companion blog was launched to support, maintain and develop online educational ambition of the collection.
The bulk of the book market remains focused on print publishing. Do not you think that's crippling? How in this context do you see the reception to your book?
Lorenzo Soccavo: slowly but irreversibly the market is tipping. Not because I like personally, it is not the case, but simply because the world is constantly changing and that reading practices are changing. I think it is important to take a clear position today. It is for me to inform capital on the future of books and reading. Unfortunately most publishers are hesitant to publish on these topics and mainstream media seem not to have yet aware of the issues. As experts and consultants, many are equally in immediacy. Often the most important for them is not changing reading practices with societal and cultural issues, but to hold good jobs, to sit on committees, to tell and sell to publishers what they are willing to pay.
The years 1971 with the launch of Project Gutenberg by Michael Hart in 2050 to say later, is at least as important as those called incunabula, early printed books on the period 1450-1500, or the decades of transition clay tablets to papyrus scrolls.
For true lovers of books and reading we live in a great time! And, like it or not, it is clear that Facebook and Twitter have exploded the blackout tacit around my book and the launch of this collection . "
Everyone is involved
QED! Also read besides the chronicle of Elizabeth Sutton: "From the library to Bibliosphère: a major ebook"
" The book is undergoing a revolution a profound transformation s' operates, inevitable. The publishers are changing, the booksellers are considering how to adapt, governments get involved. Everyone is involved, the reader to the author, the publisher to the printer, the graphic designer for the computer. The libraries are part of this transformation, often forgotten they nevertheless play a fundamental role in this upheaval.
Soccavo Lorenzo's book "From the Library to Bibliosphère" deals precisely with this subject libraries, public or community have a major role to play vis-à-vis the reader and in heritage conservation. Skills will change, the services offered to users as well. The approach to technology will have to be preempted in a different way ... " Prospective
