Technology is facilitating information discovery in ways never before possible. While many corporations think of digital information in terms of entire documents, chapters, and even paragraphs within documents, gaining vast amounts of relevant knowledge can begin with a single word. ebrary's CEO, Christopher Warnock will demonstrate how corporations and higher-education institutions are using new technologies such as ebrary InfoTools—which turns every word into a portal to additional online resources from multiple resources and vendors—to increase end-user knowledge and productivity.
Mr. Warnock will also discuss how new technology is changing the way in which information resources in general are being delivered, viewed and ultimately used. He will discuss the present and the future of electronic resources both from a wide and also industry perspective.
