E-book: the new serial?
Wednesday 9 November 2005
The British Library Conference Centre, London, NW1
A seminar on e-books - business models, usage and marketing
When is the e-books market really going to take off and what are the
barriers for libraries in acquiring and marketing e-monographs and
e-textbooks? Who is offering the best business model for e-books? What are
library consortia doing in this area and why is good e-books metadata
important to the information community? For debate and answers from
industry experts on all these issues and more, and a chance to participate
in product reviews from leading e-book publishers, sign up now for this UKSG
one-day seminar.
