The virtual bookstore facilitates convenient access to scholarly not-for-profit publications.
The AIS Virtual Bookstore
The AIS virtual bookstore is a service provided free of charge by AIS to facilitate access to scholarly not-for-profit publications. Through the virtual bookstore, AIS can provide its members with convenient and efficient access to high quality scholarly work that would be prohibitively expensive to distribute through commercial publishers.
Listings in the virtual bookstore are scholarly work that is not available from regular commercial publishers and is of special interest to the IS academic community. The scholars and institutions offering a publication through AIS are committed to providing the publication free of charge or at a nominal fee covering production and distribution costs. A publication can be made available through physical distribution, electronic distribution or both.
Communication concerning the listed offerings should be directed directly to the contact person(s) for the publication, not to AIS. Any transactions are between the AIS member and the institution offering the publication.
The AIS vice president of publications is responsible for the process by which potential listings in the virtual bookstore are assessed and approved.
The service is launched with one listed offering, which is provided electronically free of charge.
