What role did the publishers have in mind for the librarians???
The concept is that STM publishers should focus more on the reader than on
the author. There is competition from the libraries for the same readers. This
means that STM publishers should set up clearing houses and will deliver to
libraries and readers. They will also do the rights clearences. Publishers should
become a 'one stop shop' for readers.
