July 7, 2011 by Gary Price

Direct to Full Text of Spring 2011 Issue (Vol. 23 No. 2)

From a NISO Announcement and Summary:

 ISQ Guest Content Editor, October Ivins of Ivins eContent Solutions has pulled together a broad range of perspectives on what is happening today with e-books and particularly with e-book standards. As she states in her introductory letter: “Our goal for this issue of ISQ is to present an overview of the status of e-books from multiple perspectives-publishers and other content producers, librarians, and the many vendors who support their creation, management, sales, and distribution. Not coincidentally, it also illustrates the scope of the NISO community.”

“This special issue of ISQ emphasizes the growing importance of e-books throughout the library publishing and related information systems and services communities,” states Todd Carpenter, NISO Managing Director. “While NISO is already engaged in e-books in a number of areas, we’ve announced in the issue the formation of a Special Interest Group on E-books, which will be exploring the larger context in which e-book related events are unfolding, facilitating cross-community dialogue and recommending areas where NISO can foster standards or recommended practices.”
