Ebooks Friday Update Room Number and schedule

  • 1.  Ebooks Friday Update Room Number and schedule

    Posted May 17, 2023 08:43 AM

    Hi everyone,

     

    The Ebooks Interest Group and various partners will meet at Hilton Chicago in the International South Room.

     

    As previously noted,

     

    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-and now Also Seattle Public!--"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.

     

    Topic: E-Books Interest Group - 2023 Annual Conference

    Time: Jun 23, 2023 10:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)
