Hartzog at SLA 2009 Future of the Book Symposium: "Digital Book Debates"

My "Social Publishing" colleague Richard Adler and I will be speaking at this event, October 10th 2009.

SLA 2009 Future of the Book Symposium: "Digital Book Debates"

The University of Michigan Library is being scanned as part of the Google Books project and the Amazon Kindle and the iPhone allow for digital book access on the go. Journal publishers like the University of Michigan press are abandoning physical publication, print newspapers are going out of business, and bookstores are closing down. Publishing is changing dramatically, which in turn is changing the collections that house, preserve, and make those texts available. How are publishers and collections such as libraries and archives adapting to the new digital landscape? What are the current challenges? How is that changing what qualities are needed from Information professionals?
