Final Opportunity to Register for this NISO Virtual Conference! Long Form
Content: Ebooks, Print Volumes and the Concerns of Those Who Use Both
<https://www.niso.org/events/2019/03/long-form-content-ebooks-print-volumes-and-concerns-those-who-use-both>

*Wednesday, March 20, 2019, 12:00 Noon – 4:00pm (Eastern Daylight, US &
Canada)*



It’s a muddled area for libraries, content providers and readers. Long-form
content has traditionally been contained in printed volumes both for
reasons of consumption as well as convenient access. With the arrival of
ebooks, some aspects of engaging with long-form content became a bit easier
– searchability, mobility, etc. Still, neither form seems to fully satisfy.
Each user learns his or her own best practices for reading and referencing
book content. Is it any wonder then that those whose scholarship relies on
long-form content are suspicious of proposed changes to book production,
delivery and access?



This virtual conference will consider from a variety of perspectives issues
associated with creation, publication, and distribution of The Book.
Speakers may explore metrics of usage (downloads, duration of reading
session, etc.) as well as questions of reader behavior, assignment of
metadata, and long-term access to licensed digital content.



All speaker abstracts have now been posted to the NISO Event page
