DATE: October 21 - 22, 2014 LOCATION: University of Chicago Booth School of Business – Gleacher Center EVENT WEBSITE: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2014/forum_2014/ ABOUT THE FORUM Web technologies have changed, and continue to change, the way that content is delivered to libraries and to users. Currently e-journals are delivered through platforms but the final object is still often a PDF file. E-books are generally delivered as a downloadable file to a stand-alone e-reader. However, with the advent of the Open Web Platform using standards such as HTML5, we are looking at a new era of separating the content from the container. The web as a distribution platform offers many new opportunities for more utilization of multimedia and streaming media, embedding of apps, increased linkages and interoperability between related content, greater interactivity with content, social sharing of user-generated content related to a “publication,” text mining, and much more that hasn’t even been imagined yet.
