| Abstract: |
In this speech, we will look at the changing face of the delivery of teaching
materials around the world, the move from paper to digitally based delivery methods, the role of the library in that
process and commercially available resources for online delivery. In particular, we will look at how XanEdu, as one of
the worlds leading commercial providers of digital teaching materials, is used both in its domestic US base and
internationally by some of the world's leading business schools and university faculties. We will look at the major
constraints placed upon universities and the opportunities for development.
