This year's programme is the result of a collaborative partnership between SLIC/MmITS/SCURL and for the first time SALCTG (Scottish Academic Libraries Co-operative Training Group) and is designed to appeal to all sectors.

A programme is now available, with the following speakers participating: Linda Bennett (Gold Leaf Publishing Consultancy) - the e-books strategic landscape; Dave Pattern (University of Huddersfield) - OPAC 2 and Beyond; Liam Earney (JISC) - the JISC National E-Books Observatory Project; Graeme Miller (OCLC) - the Public Library E-Content Starter Pack; Dan Franklin (Canongate Publishing) - the publisher's perspective on future developments with e-books.
