</i>“readers” - <i> </i>whether omnivores or occasional - have
come to expect that they will be permitted to use content in practical ways
that make sense for them - re-use, sharing with colleagues, annotating
passages, etc. Yet expectations and reality are not always in alignment.
While providing consumers with a wide range of options from which to choose,
the diversity of content formats, delivery platforms, computing devices/functionalities,
and publisher policies have unintentionally raised barriers to ease of use</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On June

Through Practical Functionalities and Policies, </i>from 9:30am - 4:30pm EDST
in Philadelphia, PA. <span class=NoSpacingChar><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
workshop will open with a look at the current consumption and use of digital
content and related user reading behavior. This will be followed by a </span></span>session
on e-book acceptance and use from the perspective of students, faculty and librarians
based upon recent studies of purchase decisions and actual usage. Issues
related to mobile access and delivery will addressed as will some of the new
tools, such as apps and software that enable well-established tasks such as
annotating, sharing and peer review to be performed more efficiently and more
effectively. The final two sessions will focus on the tensions between business
sustainability and content usability and will attempt to answer the following
questions: What content usages are required by students, researchers, and
faculty? What are the 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 lessening the tensions and moving
forward?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
