[Remlee Green]

NEASIS&T Book Club Night: “Print is Dead”
Thursday, April 9, 5:30-7:00pm
Bombay Club, Harvard Square
http://www.bombayclub.com 

Join us for the first NEASIS&T book club night!  We’ll chat about the
provocative and insightful “Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age” by Jeff
Gomez.  Gomez “contends that printed books will be replaced by digital books
and that book distributors and readers should actively support the
transformation by encouraging digital book creation and the standards
required for storage and delivery” (WorldCat summary).  If you can, read the
book ahead of time
  If not, come anyway!  Those who have read it can
enlighten the rest of us.  Check out more details and reviews in the links
below.

If you don’t want to buy the book, a few local libraries own it:
WorldCat: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/163616481  
Minuteman: http://library.minlib.net/record=b2583442  

Please let us know if you’re coming by replying to remlee at mit.edu by the
morning of the event, so we can save you a seat.  If you don’t RSVP, feel
free to join us anyway.

Cheers,
Remlee
