A Report On The Translation Of Self-publishing And Collection Development:Opportunities And Challenges For Libraries(Chapters 8-10)

With the rise of self-publishing industry(henceforth,self-publishing),the current publishing environment has been experiencing drastic changes in the way how contents are created,delivered,and acquired.In today's digital age,as the rapid development of self-publishing,the term “traditional publishing” fades away from people's lives.Therefore,librarians,publishers,and vendors have to start seeking channels for the production,distribution,and access of self-published books.This report selects Chapters 8-10 from the book Self-Publishing and Collection Development: Opportunities and Challenges for Libraries as its translation material,which mainly investigates how public and academic libraries deal with the increase in self-published books and the burgeoning issues associated with self-publishing.Under the guidance of Catford's shift model of translation,some cases in the translation practice are studied from four levels: structural shift,class shift,unit shift and intra-system shift.It is hoped to shed light on English-Chinese translation of publishing texts.
