NISO's August webinar will be held on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the topic of E-Books: A Rapidly Evolving Marketplace. While e-books have been slow to garner wide adoption, the past few years has seen greatly expanded interest and use of e-books. New models and applications are growing exponentially. This webinar will explore several key aspects of the e-book community: sales and licensing models for libraries, and developments with e-book file formats. Building on the free NISO/BISG forum (see: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2009/ala09/bisg) held at the American Library Association Annual Meeting in Chicago, this webinar will focus on the business applications of creating, selling, and using e-books.
