What can libraries and publishers do to better promote the availability of relevant resources outside of a user’s specialty? Come ready for a lively discussion!

Services like Spotify, YouTube, and Vimeo have changed the landscape of streaming audio and video over the past five years. But are they serving teaching and research needs? Come join our roundtable discussion to voice your opinions and share ideas for ensuring that library services continue to develop as our online experience becomes increasingly integrated and social.
We’ll also unwrap our new audio clip functionality, show some of the exciting new content we’ve added over the last few months (including video masterclasses from Classical Music in Video and contemporary scores from Classical Scores Library), and share some of the new product ideas we’re investigating.
