LJ/SLJ Virtual Summit on eBooks

By admin

Library Journal and School Library Journal are doing a virtual summit on eBooks. I hear it’s already very popular with loads of registrants. It will be held on September 29th. The speakers are awesome and there are a number of panels too.

ebooks: Libraries at the Tipping Point will bring together public libraries, academic libraries, and school libraries (K-12) in a day-long virtual conference environment. The day will be presented online and will include keynote presentations and panel discussions on the evolving concept of the book in a digital world and will keep participants future-focused and actively engaged in visioning and assuring an exciting role for libraries. Attendees will have access to webcasts and live chat rooms as well as the ability to interact with speakers and exhibitors.

? Librarians and library administrators will learn about current best practices for library ebook collections and explore new and evolving models for ebook content discovery and delivery.
? Publishers and content creators will learn how to effectively identify and develop the ?right? content offerings for each segment of the relatively untapped library ebook market.
? Ebook platform vendors and device manufacturers will learn just what libraries need and want in this rapidly changing environment.

I did a little video for the virtual trade show and there’s an opportunity for attendees to win an iPad from Gale Cengage Learning.

There’s still time to register.
