The annual conference of the Association of American University Presses was praised by many attendees in part because it focused on digital how-to: how to make and market e-books, and how to work with libraries that want everything in electronic form. "Librarians want to buy e-books, and they want to buy them now," said Alex Holzman, director of Temple University Press. Holzman spoke at a panel designed to provide an update on a consortium being organized by the presses at Temple, New York University, Rutgers University and the University of Pennsylvania with money from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
