Ebooks Friday Schedule and Zoom

  • 1.  Ebooks Friday Schedule and Zoom

    Posted Apr 25, 2023 12:38 PM

    We're changing the schedule of Ebook Friday very slightly because of other related events happening that day--events which a number of our attendees also want to see.

     

    Times are CENTRAL zone

     

    10-10:45:  Librarian/publisher meeting (we are inviting various publishers to attend to discuss any new developments, hear librarian concerns, and answer--respectful, please!--questions)

    10:45 – 11:15  CDL, Internet Archive, updates

    11:15 – 12:15  Lightning Round (Hear from shakers and movers about various projects)

    12:15- 12:45:  Palace

    12:45 – 2:00: Lunch (not provided--we're leaving time enough to go out)

    2:00-3:00:  Banned Books-the digital response (An exploration of Brooklyn's "Books Unbanned" project, efforts to ban digital versions of books, and a discussion of how to help)

    3:00 – 4:00 Free time:  make connections, chat with friends

     

    ALA has provided a Zoom link for those who cannot attend in person. Please don't share it widely to avoid Zoom bombing.  If you want to talk about some recent developments where you are-and I hope you will!-please plan especially to be on for the Lightning Round.  You can present via Zoom, if not in-person.

     

    Core Meeting Room 1 is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
