UNC Chapel Hill Health Sciences Library is hosting the MLA Educational Webcast

ABCs of eBooks: Strategies for Medical Libraries

Wednesday November 10, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.



The goal of this webcast is to familiarize information professionals with electronic books and the associated collection management issues related to various platforms, pricing models, licensing agreements, term of ownership, resource management and access methods so that they have the knowledge to make informed decisions which will best serve their constituents.



It will:

*          provide an overview of electronic books management in the health sciences library environment,

*          highlight considerations to be made in the purchase of e-books, such as choosing a platform; individual titles versus packages; licensing issues; pricing models; terms of ownership; and site license versus concurrent users, and

*          offer a discussion of related management issues for e-book collections, such as cataloging, providing subject lists and title lists, offering federated searching, and collecting usage statistics.



The webcast begins at 2:00 p.m. Following the webcast, we'll discuss what it means for us on-site and in-person beginning at 3:30 p.m.  1.5 MLA CE credits are offered for attending the webcast.  Those who participate in the wrap-around session will earn 2.5 CE credits.  There will be no cost to individuals to view the webcast at HSL.
