Hi all,
ALA Annual is coming up.
We are working out details for the ever-enjoyable Ebooks Friday Session.
Here is a tentative schedule for June 23rd (room # to be announced):
10-10:30: CDL & Internet Archive updates and invitations to action
10:30 – 11:30 Librarian/publisher meeting (we are inviting various publishers to attend to discuss any new developments, hear librarian concerns, and answer-respectful, please!-questions)
11:30 – 12:15: Lightning Round (Hear from shakers and movers about various projects)
12:15- 12:45: Palace Update
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
We will work out an option for digital attendance.
Would you like to present in the lightning round about something interesting you are doing with digital? Have ideas you'd like to see pursued? Email me off list!
