*Updated Roster of Speakers for NISO’s Virtual Conference On Ebooks!*



Developing and delivering a book in today’s digital environment is a
complex activity. No *single* stakeholder has full control over the final
user experience, and reader expectations are ever expanding. Attend this
NISO virtual conference on *Wednesday, October 5*, and learn more about the
current challenges, both for established as well as emerging players in the
e-book world. Eight speakers provide attendees with a robust six-hour
update in a program, scheduled to run from *11:00am through 5pm*.



NISO’s event opens with a foundational overview by a major platform
provider as to what users are experiencing regarding platforms, devices,
and interfaces. Then we’ll hear from an expert on the behavioral data that
reveals what users expect and need when engaging with book-length content
on a digital device. (See what Andrew Rhomberg revealed about user data in
this March 2016 article
<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/business/media/moneyball-for-book-publishers-for-a-detailed-look-at-how-we-read.html>
in
the *New York Times*.) What happens when a book isn’t the only or the best
way for delivering scholarship? A researcher tells you! The program
features sessions on the nitty-gritty of ebooks—metadata, business models,
and more, and closes with two case studies and the signature feature of
NISO events, a round-table discussion that surfaces trends and issues that
may soon demand greater attention.



Confirmed speakers include *Jacob Wilcock*, Director, Publishing
Technologies, Atypon; *Andrew Rhomberg*, Founder, Jellybooks; *Janine
Barchas*, Professor of English, University of Texas – Austin; *Chip Nilges*,
Vice President for Business Development, OCLC; *Luke Swindler, Jr.,*
Collections
Management Officer, Collection Development, University of North Carolina -
Chapel Hill; *Alistair Morrison*, ScienceDirect Senior Product Manager for
Books, Elsevier; *Rich Baraniuk, *Founder, OpenStax; and *Judy Luther*,
President, Informed Strategies.



Don’t forget that registering for a NISO’s virtual conference allows group
viewing of the event and includes access to a downloadable recording of the
day’s presentations. For additional specifics, see the NISO event page
