Last week a symposium about the ebooks in libraries organized by the Connecticut State Library’s Advisory Council for Library Planning and Development’s (ACLPD) eBook Task Force was held at the University of Hartford.
The keynote presentation was given by the Director of ALA’s Office for Information Technology Policy, Alan Inouye.
Slide decks from the presentations are now available online.
