Versione italiana

Overview

The Seminar - organized in cooperation with the the CNR (National Research Council) Bologna research area - about "E-books in academic libraries" will be organized along a format that should include a question and answer session with publishers, based on a few critical questions preset by a group of librarians, a review of a few significant Italian experiences and a speech from a foreign librarian about the state-of-the-art abroad of ebooks in academic libraries.

• Morning session
  With the major international publishers
  We have thought to ask some librarians to suggest 4-5 questions to which the publishers will be called to answer to in turn in front of the attendees. A summary of the answers will be produced and a discussion could follow.

• Afternoon session
  Reports about Italian experiences e-books in academic libraries by key librarians.
  Paul Ayris, Director of Library Service, University College London, with a paper titled "E-books in the context of E-Learning Strategy".
