ALCTS Out of Print Discussion Group (OPDG) at ALA Midwinter 2010
Title: The Growing Availability of Out of Print Books: Digitization on
Demand, Print on Demand, and the Expanding O.P. Market.
Time: Sunday, January 17, 1:30-3:00
Location: Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, room 157 B
Description: More and more libraries are offering Digitization on Demand
which allows patrons to select the books that are digitized and released
on the web. One of the pioneers in this area is the Boston Library
Consortium http://www.blc.org/ James Lee of the Brandeis University
Library will walk us through the whole process and share some of the
Consortium’s documentation. In addition Michael Cooper from Busca, Inc.
www.buscainc.com will share some of his company’s strategies for
locating out of print and POD books.
The committee will also hold an election for the upcoming year’s chair
and co-chair.
The Out of Print Discussion Group isn’t just about o.p. books. We are
open to all types of topics including Orphan Works, Large Scale
Digitization Initiatives, Print on Demand, and Digitization on Demand.
So come and join your colleagues in a wide ranging discussion of the
hottest topic in the library world: out of print books!
