Ann Eagan has done a great job putting together this panel but she'd like
one more speaker. I know that many of you are using some form of
online payment or smart cards in your libraries. This is a good
opportunity to present. Please contact Ann directly
(ann.eagan@nau.edu) if you would like to participate or if you know of a
contact for Ann. The proposal follows below:<br><br>

E-commerce is becoming ubiquitous but what does it mean for
libraries? Some would argue that in strict terms, libraries have
been involved in e-commerce for years with the marketing of services and
resources through web pages. Others would argue that libraries are
just beginning to enter the world of e-commerce with forays into offering
ways for library users to pay fines or buy copies of photographs or other
items online. Learn about the different ways e-commerce can be
interpreted and how libraries are implementing e-commerce
initiatives.<br><br>
