will close tomorrow at 12:00pm EDST for the NFAIS workshop, <i>Trends In Higher
Education: Content, Services, and Business Models. </i>The workshop is
scheduled to take place on Friday, April 26th<i>, </i>from 9:00am – 5:00pm EDST
in Philadelphia, PA. It 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>

<p class=MsoBodyText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:

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:ftn1' href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span
class=MsoFootnoteReference>[1]</span></a>. 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 style='font-weight:normal'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
