The Explosion of E-Resources
February 25/26, 2008
Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN, UK
The substantial rise in the number of e-resources available to libraries is dramatically accelerating the transition to the all electronic library. Back volume collections, e-book databases and aggregations, and magazines in electronic form or with interesting electronic components are now coming on to the market on almost a daily basis. But how have they been absorbed and can libraries and business professionals continue to purchase such a wide variety of electronic content? To what extent is the demand being generated by the users, and what are their likely future requirements of these electronic resources? Will the supply chain manage to absorb the accelerating pace of change, will the budgets be there in the future and can publishers rely on a ready market for these new products? These are just a few of the many issues discussed by some of the world’s leading specialists in journals, books and magazines to try and see a little further into these rapidly changing markets. This conference draws together publishers, librarians and intermediaries to discuss the major issues surrounding the explosion of e-resources.
