NISO-BISG Standards Landscape: Sue Polanka -- E-books in the Library: Successfully Reaching the End User

Conference:  NISO/BISG Standards Landscape Forum at the American Library Association

Abstract:  As e-books become more popular in today's library, librarians are discovering challenges in finding the best ways to acquire, catalog, access and read the format. This presentation will describe the e-book standards librarians need in MARC records, cataloging, and purchasing to improve the dissemination of e-book data throughout a library's workflow. It will also unpack the necessary "standard" interface features most requested by end users.
