The IAAM Press and Publications Committee (IPPC),
chaired by Larry Perkins, CFE was created to oversee and coordinate the
publishing of IAAM intellectual properties by assisting IAAM members in
publishing their own industry-related intellectual properties such as
employee training manuals, “how to” manuals for facility operations,
history of the facility publications, etc.
A portion of the royalties paid when any IAAM intellectual property is
purchased will be directed to the IAAM Foundation. This project is a
great way to give back while at the same time adding member value.
To participate in this special initiative, either as a single individual
or as a facility management team, here are a few of the details the IPPC
has developed that you need to know:
- Our alliance with Lulu Press, Inc., through an innovative
print-on-demand system, makes producing and publishing a manuscript or
book a seamless experience for both the author/writer and the IPPC. This
new, revolutionary technology eliminates the need for IAAM to raise
start-up funds for publishing, carry an inventory, deliver books to
purchasers, generate invoices or deal with returns. Lulu Press is also
capable of publishing materials in other media such as DVDs.
- There are quality control and copyright infringement issues that the IPPC are charged to review on behalf of IAAM. Not all materials
submitted may be published under the IAAM intellectual property brand.
IAAM may choose not to act as publisher or copyright holder of a
member’s submission.
- The IPPC and IAAM resources are limited. Therefore, the IPPC and IAAM
staff will provide only limited assistance to members completing the
publishing process through Lulu Press, Inc. which include very basic
proofreading and assistance in formatting the manuscript to insure it is
compatible with the Lulu Press prescribed formats. Members may choose to
hire and pay for services such as a copy editor, graphic designer,
layout artist, etc. through Lulu Press, or any other service provider of
his/her choosing, to complete their individual publication to suit their
own tastes.
- A portion of the royalties generated from the sale of IAAM
intellectual properties will automatically go to the IAAM Foundation,
thanks to this new innovation.
The IPPC has created an Expression of Interest to Publish form to assist
you. Simply click here and complete the form and you will be contacted
by a Press and Publications Committee member to discuss your interest in
publishing on behalf of IAAM. |
