Video Via C-SPAN: Selected BookExpo America Industry Panels & Author Talks and Google Editions Event
If you were unable to attend BookExpo America in NYC or attended and were unable to see a favorite author or two, perhaps C-SPAN, C-SPAN 2, and the C-SPAN Video Library can help.
From now (4:30 EST, Saturday) until 7am EST on Sunday, C-SPAN 2 is airing author talks, interviews with publishers about their new book lists (between scheduled events), and a couple of industry panels. All of these events took place a couple of weeks ago in NYC at BookExpo America, 2010.
Depending on when you read this post, live now is a panel titled, "The Next Decade in Book Culture - Effects of E-Book Reading Devices" The panel will re-air at 6am EST, Sunday.
But don't let time be an issue. Watch it whenever you like. Keep reading.
All of these events are already available by using the amazing C-SPAN Video Library database where you can search and/or browse and then view online just about every C-SPAN program/event back to 1987, approx. 160,000 hours of programming. We've mentioned this educational, important, and for many disciplines, essential resource several times on ResourceShelf since it debuted online in mid-March of this year.
In most cases, a text transcript comes along with the video. If you haven't used or "played" with this database, it's MORE THAN worth a look.
The price? Free.
For example, the May 4th BISG / Publisher's Weekly event where Google Editions was formally introduced (and of course widely reported and discussed upon it's conclusion) is available via the C-SPAN Video Library.
The panelists include, Jane Ciabattari, president, National Book Critics Circle, Carolyn Kellogg, book blogger, The Los Angeles Times, Denise Oswald, editorial director, Soft Skull Press, Nicholas Latimore, director of publicity, Knopf, Ed Nawotka, founder and editor-in-chief, PublishingPerspectives.com, and Kate Travers, marketing and media consultant. The panel is moderated by John Reed, books editor, Brooklyn Rail.
It runs about one hour.
Finally, the one other 2010 BEA panel that C-SPAN is airing with a focus on the publishing the industry will re-air on C-SPAN at 2am EST, Sunday.
But, once again, watch when you have time. This CEO panel is titled: "The Value of a Book"
