Subject: Question about a recent meeting announcement
I'm interested in this topic, but I can't attend it. Will the discussion
be recorded or some notes be posted later? Can I also put up the following
questions to the members?
1. Will the publisher provide PDA format of the e-books at the time of
producing the electronic books?
2. Are there any high demand from the library users to use PALM to read
books?
3. How the library promotes the e-books in PALM version?
Thank you for your attention.

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)
