Cesar's book project

This sounds like an interesting project, but several questions come to mind –

1.       Will there be copyright issues to contend with (did you sign your copyright over to the newspaper or do you retain it)?

a.       The newspapers have given us permission to publish our articles

2.       About how many pages do you anticipate this being?

a.       Not too many.  We estimate about 120 pages with the introduction, prologue, and epilogue.

3.       Are you thinking of just a monetized version, an open access version, or a hybrid version where the reader could read it online for free, but purchase a printed copy if he wished?

a.       We are considering an open access version (we do not want to make money but we do not want to lose any money either).

4.       Are you looking just for answers to these questions, or for a librarian to work with you to get this ready?

a.       Any help would be much welcome.  We would certainly be open to publish this through Digital Commons@Brockport.

5.       What is your timeline for this?

a.       Not urgent.

Here’s what I can tell you right now. The three places I know of to publish an eBook at no or minimal cost to you are – Digital Commons@Brockport, Lulu.com, and Amazon’s Create Space. So if you are looking for any kind of open access version (either entirely open access or hybrid), we would be happy to put it in Digital Commons Bookshelf with a link to where a copy could be purchased, if you wished. Could you give me more details, and we can talk more about this?
