Ebooks Friday at ALA Annual Taking Shape

  • 1.  Ebooks Friday at ALA Annual Taking Shape

    Posted Mar 04, 2022 08:54 AM

    Hi all,

     

    June 24th is (once again!) "Ebooks Friday" at ALA Annual.

     

    For those of you not able to attend in person, I'm working on a Zoom virtual option.

     

    9:30 - 10:30:  Ebooks Interest Group (Everyone welcome-publishers, vendors, librarians of course-for a wide-ranging discussion of trends and concerns in the library digital content.)  

    10:45 - 11:45:  Consortial Ebooks Interest Meeting (By popular demand, a forum for discussion of issues specifically related to use of digital content in consortiums)

    1:00 – 2:00:  Palace (The latest news about the Palace library digital content app, perhaps demos of functionality)

    2:15 – 3:15:  SimplyE (The latest news about the SimplyE library digital content app, perhaps demos of functionality)

    3:30 – 4:30: Library Futures (If you are not familiar with Library Futures, this will be an interesting session-updates and discussion of controlled digital lending, state ebook laws,  and a review of 1st year accomplishments.

     

    Room # at ALA Annual to be determined.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Michael
