NFAIS Workshop: Digital Content: Fostering Usage through Practical
Functionalities and Policies.  Registration closes at noon on Thursday
(Onsite and Virtual registrations available)

 

The registration for the June 21st NFAIS Workshop, Digital Content:
Fostering Usage through Practical Functionalities and Policies, will close
at noon (EDST) this coming Thursday. This informative workshop will take a
look at the product/delivery functionalities and the publisher policies that
are both enhancing and impeding digital content usage and the overall user
experience and will be held from 9:30am - 4:30pm EDST in Philadelphia, PA.
Both onsite and virtual registrations are available (see agenda at:
http://nfais.org/event?eventID=525).

 

Why attend? The workshop will attempt to answer the following questions:
What content usages are required by students, researchers, and faculty? What
are the technical and legal barriers that impede such usage? What are the
biggest concerns for institutions and their vendors?  And how might all
parties think about the issues with the objective of improving the user
experience with digital content?

 

Topics Include:

 

.         Digital Content Consumption: The Current Landscape

.         Trends in E-book Use and Acceptance: View from the Trenches

.         Fostering Use: The Mobile Environment

.         Fostering Use: Enabling Content Sharing, Annotation, and Review

.         Usability and Sustainability from a Business Perspective -
publisher concerns

.         Moving Forward: Resolving the Tension Between Content Usability
and Business Sustainability

 

Both onsite and virtual registrations are available for individuals and for
groups of three or more from the same organization.  Group registrations can
be a mix of onsite and virtual attendees, with a small food charge added for
those attending onsite. Members of Sister Societies (CENDI, ISCTI, AAUP,
