Relations Interest Group)

Monday, June 27, 8:00-10:00 am
MCC (Morial Convention Center) -Room 287

Panelists:
Beth Fuseler Avery, Coordinator of Collection Development, University of 
North Texas Libraries
Melanie Schaffner, Marketing & Sales Manager, Project MUSE at the Johns 
Hopkins University Press
Michael Zeoli, Director, Global Consortia, YBP Library Services

As more libraries increase their e-book holdings by purchasing subject 
collections and installing patron demand systems, new methods of 
acquiring and organizing content must be considered. As libraries 
struggle to control costs and manage their growing e-book collections, 
issues such as duplication of content in both electronic and print forms 
and reliable metadata become increasingly important. Our panel will 
discuss the dichotomy of selecting and organizing e-book content in a 
fast and growing landscape of digitized titles, and how vendors and 
publishers are offering more content and levels of service while keeping 
up with standards in an ever-changing environment.

If you are interested in becoming involved with PVLR, please attend our 
planning meeting on Saturday, June 25th at 4 pm at the Embassy Suites, 
Jean Lafitte 1.

For more information, please contact co-chairs Liz Lorbeer 
(lorbeer_at_uab.edu) or Kim Steinle (ksteinle_at_dukeupress.edu).
