Words Worth Paying For?: Publishing in the Age of Electronic Readers

Mon, Nov 16 2009
6 p.m. –7:30 p.m.

Electronic book devices such as Amazon's Kindle and Sony E-reader are part of a new wave in digital publishing--one that's drawing attention in the media and creating an uncertain world for publishers, authors, journalists, librarians and booksellers. How do digital books change us as writers, publishers, and readers?

A panel of industry leaders, writers, librarians and scholars will discuss what it all means, and where we might be heading. We'll share conversation, food and drink as part of a lively evening hosted by the UO Portland and partners in the White Stag Block. All are welcome to this free, public event.

Location: Room 142/144 White Stag Block Buildings, Portland
Department:Sponsored by the George S. Turnbull Portland Center of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, the UO Portland Library and Learning Commons, Multnomah County Libraries.
Cost: Free
