iPad Rumors are rife about Apple’s “iPad,” supposedly to be released sometime soon after December 2009. Roughly the size of a Kindle, with the functionality of an iPhone, the iPad may revolutionize laptop computing the way the iPhone changed the cellphone, and iTunes transformed the music industry. Adobe Air When Adobe releases its Adobe Air, online reading can be available truly on any device that uses Adobe (Blackberry, Palm, G1, etc.) Netbooks Growing in popularity, light, easy to use, and interactive, netbooks pose a viable threat as the next e-reader device.

The second of two presentations given during BISG's webcast "Product Development for Common Core Standards," co-hosted by Patricia Payton (Senior Manager of Publisher Relations and Content Development for Bowker), featuring Ashley Andersen Zantop (Group Publisher and General Manager at Capstone) and Emma Williams (Collection Development Manager at Booksource). The implementation of Common Core State Standards is changing how teachers and librarians select classroom material, with significant consequences for publishers' product development and marketing programs. The series of three webcasts will help you understand educator needs, provide guidance for developing and marketing content that teachers and librarians will look for, and optimize its discoverability by showing you how to include details of a title's conformance with common core state standards in its metadata. Emma Williams is the Collection Development Manager at Booksource. She helped develop Booksource's Common Core State Standards book collections and is well-versed in the Language Arts Reading Standards. In addition to her buying and collection duties, Emma edits Booksource's blog, "Booksource Banter," and is part of the social media strategy team. Emma has a B.A. in English from Truman State University and has worked in the book industry for the past eight years.

The International Standard Name Identifier, or ISNI, was created to identify the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery. Now, Laura Dawson, Product Manager of Identifier Services at Bowker, will show us how ISNI has developed since the standard was first published in 2012. How is it managed? Who receives numbers? What impact has it had on publishing? And how can it be incorporated into current metadata management and distribution?

The better your metadata, the better your sales: that's the simple truth. Books with complete metadata sell almost three times better than a book with incomplete metadata, so there's a very good reason to learn about how to format and transmit this information to your industry partners. But where to begin? In this session, Graham Bell, Chief Data Architect at EDItEUR, will offer practical guidance on writing, formatting, and transmitting metadata in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and help to make your metadata work for you. This is the third in a three-part series, co-produced by IBPA and hosted by BISG, aimed at demystifying several of the core book industry standards through "101"-style sessions presented by experts in the field.

What are identifiers? What purpose do they serve in the book industry? According to BISG's Best Practices for Identifying Digital Products, an identifier is generally a sequence of alpha-numeric characters that unambiguosly differentiates one thing from another in a particular context. But while that answer may seem straightforward enough, the fact is there's a lot more to identifiers than one might think. The book industry employs numerous identifiers for different reasons in its day-to-day operations. This webcast will cover identifiers basics—what they are, how they are developed, and how and why they are used. Special focus will be given to the venerable ISBN and its use in today's digital marketplace, and the difference between the ISBN and proprietary product identifiers. In this session, Phil Madans, Executive Director Digital Publishing Technology for Hachette Book Group, will discuss how to correctly use identifiers to ensure your books reach the hands of happy readers. This is the second in a three-part series, co-produced by IBPA and hosted by BISG, aimed at demystifying several of the core book industry standards through "101"-style sessions presented by experts in the field.
