From: Rian van Spaandonk <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:16:32 +0200 *** apologies for cross-posting *** (plain text version) Many publishers would like to strengthen their presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This region is going through various changes and is so diverse that publishers often struggle to identify opportunities or to develop a strategy that successfully serves customers across the region. This is why ACCUCOMS decided to chart the needs and wishes of academic and scientific libraries in the MENA region. We have held a survey among a variety of information specialists and institutions, and made an up-to-date demographic and economic overview of the Middle East and North Africa. The results of the survey and our research have been collected in a white paper titled "Selling to Libraries in the Middle East and North Africa", which is available for free via our website: http://www.accucoms.com/reports We hope this white paper will help publishers all over the world to better serve their customers in the MENA region, and to improve the customer experiences of the libraries in this region. Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions.
