The document discusses the future of EPUB, including a focus on best practices documentation, standards evolution, and tools in 2013-2014. It outlines several areas the standard is exploring, such as fixed layout, adaptive layout, dictionaries, indexes, and annotations. Collaboration with other organizations is emphasized to advance web standards and promote EPUB adoption.

The incorporation of the DAISY accessibility requirements into the non-proprietary EPUB 3 standard holds significant promise for the increased availability of commercial products that are useable, out of the box, by a wide range of consumers.
The growing adoption of open educational resources (OER) has identified the need for easy-to-use authoring platforms for the development and delivery of openly licensed digital content. Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for this free, open webinar on authoring platforms that support faculty authoring and adaption of open educational resources and institutional delivery of these resources.
Our speakers will share platforms used by faculty to develop open textbooks and deliver openly licensed digital content to faculty and students in an easy and accessible manner.
Date: Wednesday, April 8
Time: 10 am PST; 1:00 pm EST
Featured speakers:
Clint Lalonde, Open Education Manager, BCcampus
Judy Einstein, VP Business Development and Etienne Pelaprat, User Experience Director, Courseload Inc.

Integration and Filtering: Creating visibility across library resources using...Emmanuel E C
This presentation discusses on how the various resources and services of a library can be integrated on a single platform using an open sources library automation software called NewGenLib or NGL. How NGL also support, information services, knowledge Management, newsletter desinging and integration with social media platform. Discusses Discovery tool features available in NGL
Rapid progress in information technology and electronic communications in the last few decades have profound impact on the way we gather, store, disseminate and consume information. Methodologies and tools for converting information to knowledge have also been very successful. All these have put a lot of pressure on traditional content storehouses like libraries to harness the new technologies for the benefits of their users.
Since Universities around the world own most of these libraries, they have been trying to embrace these newer technologies and have devised suitable methods that are beneficial to their users. They have created a new category of content called e-resources out of all forms of electronic documents and media. In the last few years, investments in these e-resources have increased many folds. Groups of universities have come together to collaboratively address the situation. In many cases, including India, Governments have also funded much of these efforts.
There are parallel efforts of creating additional knowledge resources by individuals for the consumption of individuals. In fact, the volume of effort in this area has been so large that lot of younger people are beginning to break away from traditional library and university system and greatly depend on these open sources. Proliferation of sources like Google, YouTube, Edx, Moocs and ResearchGate have been nothing short of explosive and has perhaps created the largest knowledge democracy.
In this talk, we look at the much of these developments, their implications and discuss a few use cases.
We have also suggested an architecture based on contemporary IT scenarios that will help to plan and setup an e-Resources infrastructure in a University that may be making efforts to either start it or upgrade their existing setup.
The talk concludes by suggesting a few areas of cooperation between the Universities and creating a scale that can dominate in the area of spreading validated information and create a widely spread knowledge-based society.
