[Publib] ALA Midwinter: eContent Programs from OCLC

[Oliver,Sonya]

Heading to Denver for ALA Midwinter? Please join OCLC for two
informative programs about the delivery of electronic resources to
library users.

 

10 Years of eBooks: A Celebration

10 years ago, the release of the first eBook platform to the library
market was met with a mixture of intrigue, caution and enthusiasm. A
decade later, 

it is time to reflect on the past years and consider where we will be
heading in the next ten years. A panel of eBooks leaders will discuss
the 

development of eBooks and answer questions such as: How far have we
progressed in realizing eBooks' potential? What opportunities are there 

for future development? How will eBooks change libraries and library
collections?

 

Panelists:  

*	Sue Polanka: Head, Reference and Instruction, Wright State
University and owner of the "No Shelf Required" blog. 
*	Dennis Dillon: Associate Director for Research Services,
University of Texas at Austin 
*	Tom Rosenthal, Senior Manager, Electronic Product Sales,
Elsevier 

 

Moderator: James Galbraith, Associate Product Manger, NetLibrary
