Library Insights Summit: Ebook Library Landscape

The library ebook landscape has been evolving over the past decade, and libraries saw strong interest in digital content including ebooks and audiobooks during the pandemic. In this session, a librarian, digital aggregator, and publisher will discuss lending models, libraries' challenges to meet patron demand with their budgets, and ways to increase transparency in data—with the goal of increasing collaboration between librarians and publishers directly.

Foreword Magazine is pleased to present an opportunity for publishers to engage with librarian innovators during a day-long, pre-ALA event focused on recasting the challenges facing the industry as opportunities. Librarians who are particularly focused on building inclusive communities will serve as special guests, and their guidance will provide a template for publishers to work more successfully with libraries across North America.

Registration for this event is available as an additional Ticketed Event (EVENT CODE: ALAFW) through the ALA Registration System, view the full Summit Schedule and registration instructions.
