Registration will close at 12:00pm EDST tomorrow, June 20th, for the NFAIS
Workshop, Digital Content: Fostering Usage through Practical Publisher
Polices and Product Functionalities. This one day event will take a look at
the publisher policies and product/delivery functionalities that are both
enhancing and impeding digital content usage and the overall user
experience. It is scheduled to take place from 9:30am - 4:30pm EDST in
Philadelphia, PA and virtual attendance is an option.

 

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
