There are still spaces available at the NISO forum, Digital 
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

to manage the sale and retention of that information, to 
questions of delivery and use. 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.

Don't miss this line-up of some of the best in the industry on 
Digital Resources Beyond Serials.
