<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On April
26, 2013 NFAIS will hold a workshop, <i>Trends In Higher Education: Content,
Services, and Business Models, </i>from 9:00am – 5:00pm EDST in
Philadelphia, PA. This workshop will provide an overview of the current
educational trends sweeping college and university campuses. It will take
a look at a case study on the adoption of MOOCs at a major university, new
forms of content such as open textbooks and e-textbook adoption, and how
traditional publishers are packaging their content for today’s new
“classrooms.” In addition, the workshop will take a look at
the results of a recent study on the return on library investment in
content. The meeting will close with a look at the future of higher
education and how that future is driving the acquisition and divestiture of
content across the publishing community (see agenda at <a
href="http://nfais.org/event?eventID=522">http://nfais.org/event?eventID=522</a>).<b>

normal'>Why attend? Online learning is being taken to a whole new level
by the combined forces of technology, financial pressures due to rising tuition
and steep student loans, and future space limitations on existing campuses. Massive
open online courses (MOOCS) are transforming education<a style='mso-footnote-id:

E-textbooks and new forms of courseware are replacing traditional teaching
resources and are now shaping how content will be packaged and distributed to
colleges and universities in the not-too-distant future. Indeed, at the
2013 NFAIS Annual Conference, 93% of the attendees of a session on these trends
agreed that their organization’s current practices for content packaging
and delivery to academia will be impacted! Understanding the potential
impact of these trends is essential to all content providers and librarians.</span><span
