>PLEASURE OR PAIN: Selecting and Promoting Electronic Books
>
>Libraries are increasingly collecting e-books. How are titles selected? How
>are they promoted? E-books offer lots of benefits - they are readily
>accessible outside of physical library spaces, their text is searchable, and
>they can be viewed on a variety of portable devices. How are libraries
>implementing these new technologies? Are people using them? How will
>Google Books impact e-book publishing, access, and the future of library
>collections?
>
>All registered attendees are welcome to join us for a lively and
>thought-provoking discussion as we talk about what we're doing now and where
>we're going with e-books.
