DESCRIPTION

About the Webinar The most rapid developments in the world of e-books have taken place in the popular market for fiction and non-fiction monographs. However, with the development of new standards such as EPUB 3 that support multimedia and the improvements in reading devices, the penetration of electronic versions of trade books has advanced quite rapidly. The market for digital textbooks, however, has grown at a more modest rate for a variety of reasons. The electronic textbook marketplace is still working through some very complex technological and business model issues. This two-part webinar series will explore the nascent world of electronic textbooks and how publishers, students, and librarians are dealing with these new products. Just as open access has revolutionized the world of journal literature, so too is it increasingly being advocated in the e-textbook world. Part 2 of E-books for Education will focus on the efforts to make textbooks electronically available under free open copyright licenses as part of the broader open educational resources movement. Agenda Introduction Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO The Library Publishing Landscape for E-Textbooks Faye Chadwell, Donald and Delpha Campbell University Librarian and Press Director, Oregon State University Student-Funded Textbook Initiative at Kansas State University Brian Lindshield, Associate Professor, Human Nutrition, Kansas State University Beth Turtle, Associate Professor/ Scholarly Communications & Publishing, Kansas State University Libraries Using Open Resources to Expand Access to Education Gemma Fay, Academic Content Manager, Boundless
