Minimalism: Disintermediation of Libraries and Publishers, Joseph Esposito

The halls and gateways that have historically housed or provided access to content are being transformed by technological developments and an abundance of distribution channels. As direct-to-consumer models are redefining the connection between authors and readers, the role of publishers and libraries as intermediaries is changing. Are subscribers and consumers merely asking for more open windows and fewer walls, or are traditional models being entirely deconstructed? Discover why publishers and libraries need to reinvent themselves, what adjustments need to be made, and what some are already doing to innovate and thrive.
