<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=559> Building an E-book Collection Presenter: Amanda Jacobs Foust Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2016 Start Time: 12 Noon Pacific 1PM Mountain 2PM Central 3PM Eastern * Are you struggling to determine how best to spend your e-book budget? * Do you need help navigating the confusing landscape of e-book availability for libraries? * Would you like to stretch your libraries budget to build a comprehensive and cost-effective e-book collection In order to provide users with a wide variety of formats, today's libraries are faced with the challenge of managing the often-complex world of e-books. Publishers and vendors place unique limitations on library e-books which can be confusing to both staff and the public. Additionally, traditional collection management budgets and best practices do not always apply. As the former Electronic Services Librarian for Marin County Free Library, Amanda Jacobs Foust was responsible for the growth and development of e-books from a niche collection with limited circulation to an in-demand, high circulation collection. In this webinar, Amanda will explore the value of e-books in public libraries and discuss how individual publishers place limitations on e-book lending. In addition, she will offer specific information about vendors, best practices, policies and procedures that you can apply to your library. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: * Understand the various e-book leasing and purchasing models used by large and small publishers * Be able to identify the major e-book vendors that work with public libraries * Know strategies for stretching their libraries budget to build a comprehensive and cost-effective e-book collection * Know best practices for e-books and e-book collection development and how it varies from traditional collection development This webinar will be of interest to: Library staff and administrators involved in collection development and readers' advisory For more information and to participate in the February 9 webinar, go to https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1 <https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=559> &id=559 .
