LJ's Day of Dialog Registration
Presented by Join Library Journal for the annual Day of Dialog—this year in New York City—a free, day-long program where librarians, publishers, authors, and vendors meet to discuss issues that affect the book and library world. On tap this year, the shifting publishing landscape, with new publishing models, diverse ebook and audiobook directions, and the effects of publisher consolidation and downsizing. Then, follow the hottest titles and trends for fall from the editors who make the decisions. For the recession-stressed (and who isn't), get your current collection moving with marketing ideas from the likes of Cuyahoga County PL (OH) and their Reconnect with Reading program and others. Be our guests for coffee and croissants, lunch, and a glass of wine to end the day. |
