eBooks is the topic of our July meeting

with one comment

ebooks, portable devices, electronic books, library

We had a very good discussion last time about serving young researchers in academic libraries. We even had some action items 🙂

In July, we are going to talk about the ever hot topic of ebooks in academia. Who is using them? How often? Who likes them? Who dislikes? What are the features? Costs? Future directions?

We are reading the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) task-group report on ebooks that was issued a couple of months ago in April 2008 – “E-Books in Research Libraries: Issues of Access and Use” (please note that this is a MS Word document that you need to right-click, download and open).

The session will take place on Tue 15 Jul 2008 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM in RM 301- Lillooet Room in Barber Centre and would be moderated by Kristina McDavid. You can register here – http://toby.library.ubc.ca/booking/description.cfm?sessionid=5689

We are looking forward to see many of you there 🙂
