The academic book business is in the midst of rapid and historic change, effecting publishers, book vendors, ebook aggregators, librarians, and users alike.

A panel of librarians, publishers and vendors will discuss the opportunities and challenges arising out of this change, discussing changing demands and exploring how we might best integrate print and digital into sustainable models and worklfows. Discussion will begin with the points below, assessing where we are today and where we will be in the future.

• What are user preferences for print and ebooks today, and how might these preferences change? Will books continue to be a significant part of the academic enterprise?
• Can libraries address their users' preferences for content type? If not, why not?
• How will libraries access or acquire the content or books their users need?
• What can vendors and aggregators do to help libraries meet their users' needs?
• Do vendors and publishers need to support a shift away from print paradigms or work to integrate print and digital? How do they need to adapt to the changing ways libraries are acquiring and users are using books.
• What business models will sustain the business of academic publishing?
• Do the ways we assign “success” need to change?
