E-book: the new serial?

The British Library, St Pancras, London
Wednesday 9 November 2005

A seminar on e-books - business models, usage and marketing

When is the e-books market really going to take off and what are the barriers for libraries in acquiring and marketing e-monographs and e-textbooks? Who is offering the best business model for e-books? What are library consortia doing in this area and why is good e-books metadata important to the information community? For debate and answers from industry experts on all these issues and more, and a chance to participate in product reviews from leading e-book publishers, sign up now for this UKSG one-day seminar.
