2015 Charleston Library Conference

The lines are certainly blurred on who is a content creator and consumer. Publishers create content and distribute out directly to libraries or through content aggregation partners. Libraries not only consume content but have become publishers in their own right. And aggregators distribute content in whole or in customized sets for and to both publishers and the libraries for the customers they all serve.

Topics include:
- How publishers,libraries and aggregators are jointly developing unique content sets that best target the needs of the academic and research community
- How non-traditional content, like blogs and tweets are being used by library customers that would otherwise be difficult to discover and collect
- The opportunities to license fragments of content including images and video and the value they bring to content creators and end-users
- The role of copyright-how all this activity can be done legally and easily
