Subject: Discussion Group Meeting Announcement
The Publisher-Vendor-Library Relations Interest Group Presents the PVLR
Forum
WHEN ARE E-BOOKS _THE_ BOOKS?
Best practices in publishing & using electronic books
Monday, June 28, 2004
9:30-11:00 a.m.
208B Orlando Convention Center
Wondering whether an e-book is the right purchase for your library?
The Forum presents a panel discussion between publisher, vendor,
library-publisher collaborator, and librarians, that will cover
production
and purchase of e-books from varied points of view. What informs the
decision to publish a book in electronic format? What does it take to
make
the e-book format successful? How well do e-books work for library
users?
These and other questions relating to e-books will be addressed by the
panel:
Bob Brand (Senior Manager Technical Support, Knovel Corp.) presents an
aggregator's perspective on providing access to e-books.
Greg Giblin (Director of Market Development, STM Division, John Wiley
and
Sons, Inc.) gives a publisher's experience with developing useable,
sustainable e-book products.
Kimberly Parker (Electronic Publishing and Collections Librarian, Yale
University) offers a librarian's point of view on purchasing and
integrating
e-books into a collection.
Mark Sandler (Collection Development Officer, University of Michigan),
talks
about collaborative publishing efforts between commercial publishers
(Proquest, Paratext, OCLC) and the University of Michigan Press -- most
notably Early English Books Online.
Panel moderator: Ruth Fischer (R2 Consulting)
