Title: Exploring E-Book Holdings: Relevance and Standards

Time:  Saturday January 16, 2010, 4:00 pm-5:30 pm
Location:  Westin Waterfront--Webster (Boston, MA)

 

Description: As libraries add more e-books to their collections, questions arise as to how to create and manage their holdings data. This Forum

Will explore holdings standards such as ONIX SOH and how they might apply to electronic books; the role holdings information might play in managing e-book holdings in services such as OCLC WorldCat; and the similarity and difference between managing holdings information for e-journals and e-books.

 
Speakers:

 

Katharina Klemperer (HARRASSOWITZ and EDItEUR)

 

Maria Stanton (Director of EContent, SerialsSolutions)

Matt Goldner (OCLC) –“E-Books are for users”: As e-books move to a more prominent position in library collections, being sure users can easily discover and access them is critical. How do we start now to insure sustainable models for maintaining these as part of our library collections in a manner that helps users succeed?
