Event Title: PUBLISHING FOR IMPACT 2007: REACHING READERS ACROSS BOUNDARIES Date: 6/5/2007 - 6/5/2007 The digital age has fundamentally changed the way we access information: increasing our storage capacity, shifting distribution channels, and changing the media itself. The changing nature of publishing demands careful examination if publishing houses are to continue to function, information to remain widely and easily accessible, content creators to be recognized for their work, and audiences to freely and fairly access publications. This conference held June 4–6, 2007, in Washington, DC, was entitled “Publishing for Impact 2007: Reaching Readers across Boundaries” and it tackled myriad new issues facing publishers in the digital era. Participants ranged from the institutional to nonprofit and for-profit publishers.
