Only two weeks to the Association of Subscription Agents & Intermediaries
Annual Conference in London. If you have not made your booking for the
conference yet, there is still time to reserve your place.

Do not miss this informative and thought-provoking two-day conference
featuring presentations from industry leaders who are serving the knowledge
community by inventing new ways to transfer knowledge to a growing audience
globally and sustain the knowledge economy.

The programme is organised around four sessions covering the main stages of
supply of content from authors to readers: Authoring and Publishing, Buying
and Selling Content, Discovery and Metadata, and Content Usage and Quality.
Also scheduled for the conference is a panel discussion involving leading
figures from the academic content world which will debate both traditional
and open access business models, trying to answer the question, "Who pays:
government, philanthropists, funders, authors, institutions, libraries or
readers?"
