PUBLISHING RESOURCES

Book Central Station
IBPA Members Save 25%
Book Central Station is a new Web site that provides contact information for more than 3,000 suppliers, often with ratings and reviews by current and past clients. Owned and operated by Brian Jud, president of Book MarketingWorks, LLC, the site has two parts.
Part One helps publishers make more informed—and potentially more successful—choices of people and companies to edit, design, print, review, distribute, and publicize their books.
Part Two offers content in the form of booklets, wizards, forms, special-sales leads, links to media, special reports, and other material designed to help you write, publish, and market your booksmore effectively.
IBPA members get a 25 percent discount on the annual $39.95 membership fee. According to Jud, this is the most comprehensive list of rated book-industry suppliers on the Internet.

IBPA Members Save 15%
Built for PR practitioners with only occasional needs for media contact lists, MediaLists Online allows publishers to generate basic media contact lists in a matter of minutes.

Copyright Clearance Center
Free for IBPA Members
In 2008, Copyright Clearance Center helped publishers and authors realize more than $120 million worth of royalties from the making of re-use copies in academic, corporate and research environments. Now more than ever, leveraging the Internet needs to be a core strategy for publishers when it comes to earning fees from such re-uses.
CCC’s online services for publishers currently include:
RightsConnect linking directly from a publishers’ Web site to their works’ listed within CCC’s own online catalog; Grant Permission Online allowing rightsholders to approve special permission requests online; and Pay-per-use permission services, including Rightslink, that provide instant permission to use and share content on an as-need basis.
As an IBPA member, you can authorize your titles free-of-charge in all of Copyright Clearance Center’s programs.

IBPA’s Human Touch
A benefit of membership
Since 1983, IBPA’s mission has been to help publishers achieve and succeed. In this day and age of voice mail, email and faceless electronic communication, if you call the IBPA office, you will get a real live person who will either answer your question or find the answer for you. If the office is closed or lines all busy and you get voice mail, you will get a call back by the end of the business day. We promise.

TRADE SHOWS

American Library Association Conference (ALA)
Opportunities available only to IBPA Members
This annual ALA show attracts all types of librarians…from the public, private and school sector across the country and throughout the world. IBPA has a small block of booths reserved for this show, and if you would prefer to have a full booth or share a booth with another IBPA member, now is the time you should sign up for this event.
If you would prefer to display your title or titles within the IBPA complex, where titles are displayed face-out in specific genre and a special catalog developed for this show for the librarians.
It’s always a good idea to attend a book show if you can and IBPA can arrange for badges for those who request them in advance of the show. There will also be an opportunity to do a book signing or demonstration at this show.

Book Expo America (BEA)
Opportunities available only to IBPA Members
IBPA has again secured a good location on the show floor. If you would like to make reservations for multiple booths, a full booth, or a shared booth within the IBPA Complex of booths on the floor. If you want to get your title in front of bookstore buyers, a select library crowd, radio and television show producers, magazine editors, catalogers and other premium buyers, AND a select grouping of foreign rights licensing agents, this is the show where you should display your book.
If you are interested in having your individual title(s) displayed at the IBPA booth and represented by IBPA staff, you can sign up at this time. We will need one copy of your title for this show.
As always, if possible, it’s a good idea to attend the shows at which your title is displayed. IBPA can secure a discounted or FREE ticket to this show if you decide to attend. That information will be sent with your title registration.

We hope you will find this list of benefits useful, but as with any supplier or service, we recommend that you contact the company directly to make sure they fit your specific business needs. If there is a publishing association benefit you’d like to see listed here, please contact Lisa@ibpa-online.org.
