What value-added services will the MBP develop and what formula will be used to calculate publisher royalties? When might participating publishers begin to see income from the project?
The MBP is not developing a for-profit system. All of the content will be available free-to-read on the Internet. Participating publishers will get copies of the digitized books and metadata, and can themselves provide or enable others to provide value-added services to access the digital books. Permission granted to the MBP is NON-exclusive. Reading the case study of the National Academy Press’s experience putting their books online free-to-read could facilitate understanding and appreciation of the benefits of this approach.
