Three simple examples before.
first
A colleague in the far north complained last week, finished at my about my bad habit of packages, of which the newspaper at all four corners of the source and, although preserved, any aesthetic speak scorn. He had received such a work of art in my hand and was not amused.
I had him in the right answer. Longer sentences worked off that I just been happily half a day had been sitting on an essay in which I represented, so the air cushion bag an evil before the Lord and be of any colleague only should work with the rotary packaging made of thin cardboard. The wholesale cost they save about the same, the book is far better and are considerable, especially when they arrive at the receiver. So although I had
hit the nail on the head, and I also good sources in the call factory wholesale, could stand a revolution and standardization in packaging, coupled with the outlawing of the air cushion bags, and central supply of the three packages to all colleagues interested in anything in the way - especially as the Bremer manufacturing company offered a generous settlement with those waste packages, which are nerves all so .
Still nothing happened. There was to thrash out the framework, the issue, there was no platform present and not a medium of information which would reasonably have had authority to address this matter akademisc to take hours. What at first thinks is a formally correct, neutral-led discussion and then the development and adoption knowledge of lists of S tandard s. The final and put it to distribute to all booksellers applies.
second
From time to time, I annoyed the booksellers with my website critiques. Some of them were silly, it was missing, as Mr RFMeyer recognized correctly, the account of the technical structure behind the seemingly knowable, but sometimes they were, I insist, quite instructive, for example, than to the row comparison of the aesthetic and superficial -functional design of our books, data banks went.
However, it should all booksellers have wondered to me how big the differences are in the website design of our colleagues, some of which the most painful and annoying mistakes are made in spelling and in courtesy and education of the heart and how well can these deficiencies into categories like being in Latin class or in the chemistry class.
I've only been tested, not least because I do not penetrated deeper and wider into the matter, because the government here did not have the opportunity to the D n iskussio. Here we should discuss values, point by point, to evaluate on a common n level. Website critique, website reform site models have fairly r academic debate to take place or be developed.
third
Some books databases develop very suddenly and present themselves unexpectedly good, sfb about the current € book compared to the old, others are graphically excellent, but they nevertheless to nowhere, see settled, while others lose their way after a decade of good optical design of the Overloaded and irritating in, and I mean the current ZVAB, others insist on stubbornly curious detail errors, see a cooperative own database. - Connection, cooperation, open and underground, financial manipulation, threats and international cooperation of Books databases have become almost unaufdröselbar, killed himself, the various associations of booksellers in the fact of their own, or at least associated books portals to say little, or only that which suits them, I only mention ILAB and the suspicious silence in matters Abebooks / Amazon internationally. - The fees and terms of issue though is the hard-working "lower" colleagues quite well known and is discussed there, the rest of the bookseller but has only a very fragmentary knowledge, no real overview of what happens around on Ebay. Dire overloaded the w + h-issue for almost all German booksellers, a dependency that when seen in the light soon could achieve the quality of the previous ZVAB problem. How to organize elegant with CSV standards of the most modest kind of way out of such bondage let the computer experts might be the good of us (if they wanted). - It's a shame that we still are not able to adopt standards for bibliographic record, state information and subject areas. They do not then follow slavishly, but to thrash out a reasonable set of rules at all.
involved, this set of questions of academic n treatment.
Now, these are three examples from an extensive list of the most urgent desiderata. Also, the Exhibition business should be discussed, including the evolution of our old books and their causes, the chances of site associations (which I had written recently terrible nonsense, just as I thought that, it's never ever). The reorganization of a cooperative education should be addressed in this context, issues of cooperation with Austria and Switzerland, especially joint solutions in the postage question, and so on, there is no end in sight of the issues.
We have seen that both in the context of ZVAB and in the Frankfurt Book dealer school with some success that could be done, what I * short * seminars and crash courses for booksellers would call. That's not bad, and rarely have I annoyed me about the colleagues, as with the envious, petty, stupid assessment, they had mostly to hand over this issue. Because the attempt was laudable.
Back to Booksellers school. * Prices are pretty and beautiful, you can also find experienced colleagues to take the easy work that does not know God are willing to speak on their areas of expertise.
A r be all that is not a formal e discussion, it is not used for the production of E rkenntnissen befödert not the professional F ortschrit t.
This can only afford a professional academy.
In Berufsakadenmie to be
established working groups in which to establish rules for Internet or meeting position papers and draw results.
through the results under each topic different decision-making and regulators. They discuss and decide on three different packages of web site design, different again in books on international cooperation databases.
The academy should be centrally located, especially in the light of Switzerland and Austria. I would therefore suggest that the school bookstore is in a loose association of the headquarters of the Academy of
professional bookseller
in German-speaking
. The management of this academy should be entrusted Björn Biester. I am at times appeared as a critic Beasley, that is why you should take seriously the proposal.
As the Academy is financed, is clear: Each cooperative education is of (possibly) taken all co-workers. Teachers should be chosen democratically by the conduct must be made in my estimation, a new, loose platform of "booksellers in the German language area," the then members of the Academy are professional and make their contributions. For all the love - that and why the existing associations and groups to do so should be used, which can better represent their colleagues than I do.
In this sense, I call today on establishing the
's Academy of booksellers in the German language area
.
