eBooks in Health Sciences - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (the 11th Annual Health Sciences Lively Lunch) Speakers: Nicole Gallo, Rittenhouse Book Distributors, Inc.; John Tagler, Association of American Publishers, Inc.; Deborah Blecic, The Richard J. Daley Library of the University of Illinois at Chicago; Ramune Kubilius, Northwestern University, Galter Health Sciences Library. This session will address the current landscape and potential future direction of eBooks in the health sciences. From the perspectives of a publisher, an aggregator, and a librarian, the panel and the audience will discuss "the good, the bad, and the ugly" trends and practices facing stakeholders, as book collections become increasingly electronic. And, as tradition dictates, Ramune Kubilius will also share her annual "Year in Review", summarizing significant developments in the world of health sciences collection development over the last 12 months.
