| contents | Trendspotting 2011 Thomas, Lisa Carlucci Conferences (Gatherings) Libraries Internet Librarians Library Services Electronic Libraries Electronic Publishing Library Materials In this article, the author discusses Connecticut Library Consortium's (CLC) recently held fifth annual Trendspotting symposium, "E-books: Collections at the Crossroads." She was pleased to work with CLC to develop a cutting-edge program of dynamic, thought-provoking speakers and presentations, including an outstanding keynote by Eli Neiburger on libraries and e-books in the 21st century and an expert overview by Sue Polanka about what's hot and what's not in the current e-book landscape. CLC selected the symposium theme far in advance of the April 2011 event date, clearly identifying e-books as a hot topic and recognizing the increasing interest and need for expanded discussions on the subject. Nevertheless, the advancements and controversy related to e-books in libraries during the first quarter of 2011 sparked unprecedented activity, engagement, and debate among librarians and scholars, students and faculty, and journalists and citizens alike. E-reader adoption is sufficiently mainstream that individuals have strong opinions about how, when, and where they should acquire e-book content and at what price. Likewise, librarians continue to grow concerned about the "edging out" of libraries in the e-book market, the limitations of digital rights management and the trade-offs of privacy and ownership in exchange for digital convenience, and the de facto (often unsatisfactory) solutions required to make e-books available to library users. |
