eBooks -- After Hype and Death, What Really Works?
Thursday, June 19, 2003, 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Metro Toronto Convention Center, Room 716A
Many highly publicized eBook ventures have ridden the wave of public acclaim and commercial endeavor from the heights to the pits. Meanwhile there is a base group of eBook services that are slowly, successfully and increasingly producing good useable products, products that libraries can make available to the benefit of their partons. This Institute will give attendees a "state of the business" overview of eBooks. Particular emphasis will be first and foremost on library usability of eBooks. We'll cover what librarians can actually use and do with eBooks now. What they can expect to happen, and not happen in the near future, including practical applications and many "buyer beware" warnings. We'll look at business models for eBook providers as indicators of the viability of that provider both in the open market place and for libraries specifically.
