Resources: Working with Formats Beyond Serials,” to be held May 5-6, 
2008 at the Argonaut Hotel at the Maritime National Historical Park 
Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, CA. 

An outstanding line-up of speakers will provide the latest information

Peter Brantley, Executive Director, Digital Library Federation (DLF) 
will give the opening keynote.

E-BOOKS: Speakers from Adobe Digital Editions, Atyphon Systems, eBook 
Technologies, Apex Content Solutions, Auto-Graphics, and Swets 
Information Services will provide the latest information on e-book 
standards and products.

E-MUSIC: Speakers from the Recording Industry Association of America 
(RIAA) and Naxos of America will discuss the revolutionary changes in 
music distribution and its pricing and licensing.

Librarians and library consultants will address implementation issues of 
digital resources including integration of digital and print, 
accessibility for vision-impaired users, and how to uniquely identify 
the resources for access and retrieval.
