Public and school librarians from around the world will come together with publishing industry leaders at OverDrive's third international user group conference, Digipalooza. The event, scheduled for July 28-31, 2011, in Cleveland, is held every two years. This four-day educational and networking conference will address the massive surge in library eBook borrowing with panels on industry trends, best practices, marketing and outreach, and upcoming enhancements to the OverDrive service.
A roundtable featuring representatives from several of the world's leading publishing houses will provide librarians with the chance to ask questions, in-person, about the future of library eBook lending.
OverDrive's second Digipalooza in 2008 was attended by hundreds of librarians and publishing professionals from the US and Canada. The conference provides unique opportunity for library partners to share experiences with fellow librarians, Team OverDrive, and publishers.
This year the Digipalooza conference will feature vital sessions for librarians, including: Managing the eBook explosion: new challenges and opportunities for your library; Publisher roundtable and library lending dialogue; Going Mobile: the latest devices and apps; and The digital lending library: maximize the value of the 'Virtual Branch.'
