| (Embedded image | The Future of the Book |

| pic22142.jpg) | What is a book? How is our idea of the book |
| | changing? New technology, globalization, |
| | convergence of the media, web2.0 -- are they |
| | killing the book? Or has the book a future, |
| | although maybe one different from the past? |
| | |
| | This presentation will examine trends for the |
| | future of book publishing, and explore the new |
| | frontiers in this industry from the |
| | perspective of an institutional publisher: new |
| | ways of creating and distributing books (e.g., |
| | wikis, distributed printing, print on-demand), |
| | new business models, and new roles of the |
| | members of the book chain. |
