Please join us for the panel discussion: "The Open Knowledge Commons
and Library Collections: The Other Scan Plan"

When: Sat. July 11th, 10:30am - 12pm

Where: McCormick Place West W-179

About the program:
There's more to large scale digitization than Google. The Open
Knowledge Commons (growing out of the Open Content Alliance) offers
both an alternative and a complement to the Google Books Library
Project. Along with the Internet Archive, the OKC represents the
collaborative efforts of cultural, technology, nonprofit, and
governmental organizations to build a permanent archive of
multilingual digitized text and multimedia content.


Panelists:
Maura Marx, Executive Director, Open Knowledge Commons
Betsy Kruger, Associate Professor, Digital Content Creation, The
University Library at UIUC
Heather Christenson, Mass Digitization Project Manager, California
Digital Library

The program is presented by the ALCTS/CMDS Administration of
Collection Development Committee

Hope to see you there!
