Whilst eBooks have been in existence for decades in one form or another and the popularity of eBooks readers such as Amazon Kindle and the Apple iPad have finally established themselves within the consumer market, libraries are still facing major challenges to establish eBooks in their collections.

CILIP’s brand new eBooks Executive Briefing brings together key speakers from across the library and publishing community allowing delegates to find out about current practices and future possibilities. The event will not only update delegates in latest developments but serve as an opportunity to ask questions, debate key topics, share views with colleagues and speakers alike.

Key speakers all in one place!

Eight expert speakers have been brought together for this highly informative event. The programme will cover:

• The changing patterns of e-book purchasing and use in Higher Education libraries
• An overview of how the FE sector is promoting their e-book collections through mobile technologies
• Public libraries e-book lending models and publishers concerns
• The role of the academic publisher in the digital world
• Experiences from an eBooks supplier
