ABA Task Force Provides Guidance on Electronic Catalogs
The American Booksellers Association's efforts to ensure that publishers that are developing electronic catalogs are making them as useful as possible for independent booksellers continued this past weekend. On Friday and Saturday, August 22 and 23, ABA's Electronic Catalog Task Force met at the Doubletree Hotel at the San Francisco Airport to get bookseller input and to fine-tune recommendations that ABA Board members and staff will discuss with publishers at a series of meetings in conjunction with the Board's mid-September meeting in New York.
