As more libraries increase their e-book holdings by purchasing 
subject collections and installing patron demand systems, new 
methods of acquiring and organizing content must be considered. 
As libraries struggle to control costs and manage their growing 
e-book collections, issues such as duplication of content in both 
electronic and print forms and reliable metadata become 
increasingly important. Our panel will discuss the dichotomy of 
selecting and organizing e-book content in a fast and growing 
landscape of digitized titles, and how vendors and publishers are 
offering more content and levels of service while keeping up with 
standards in an ever-changing environment.

If you are interested in becoming involved with PVLR, please 
attend our planning meeting on Saturday, June 25th at 4 pm at the 
Embassy Suites, Jean Lafitte 1.
