E-Books for Everyone? : the 4th annual E-Books Seminar
Are e-books becoming an integral part of our collections and services?
What are the practical issues for librarians struggling to provide better
services with limited budgets and increased expectations?
Join us at the 4th annual e-books seminar in Glasgow on 1 October 2004 and
hear a range of speakers from across the sectors talk about their
experience in this area.
We are delighted to welcome Rich Rosy from OCLC who will provide an
overview of the e-books scene. A LASER-funded pioneering project to test
the feasibility of e-book provision in public libraries will be described
by Linda Berube and Martin Palmer from Co-East/Essex Libraries. Peter
Wynne from NoWAL will speak on their experience of making a large e-book
collection available to a HE library consortium. Fionnuala Cassidy will
speak about the role of the JISC collections team in acquiring and making
available collections of high quality resources of relevance to learning,
teaching and recent agreements bringing e-books into Further Education.
Nick Morgan from Learning & Teaching Scotland will outline current ICT,
Internet and digital content issues in schools and explore some of the
likely directions for future development.
