Other Continuing Education OpportunitiesNIST Fourth Annual E-Book Conference Planned for NovemberMany writers and publishers now regard electronic books as a significant part of the publishing industry's future, including formats such as newspapers, textbooks, manuals and novels. The industry has matured since NIST (The National Institute of Standards and Technology) sponsored the world's first e-book conference in 1998. NIST is now preparing for the fourth annual e-book conference, which will focus on authors, digital rights management and how electronic books enable broader applications such as e-learning. This year's conference also will include special sessions on new e-book applications for libraries as well as industry standards, such as the NIST-facilitated Open eBook Publication Structure Standard 1.0. The conference will feature exhibits by a range of publishers, e-book manufacturers and others. Industry-oriented sessions will focus on topics such as global markets and successful business models. E-Book 2001 will be held Nov. 5-7, 2001, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The conference will be co-sponsored by NIST and the National Information Standards Organization. For more information on E-Book 2001, go to www.nist.gov/ebook2001.
