Jessica Lacher-Feldman has kindly posted her entire ARLIS Conference 90-slide PowerPoint show at slideshare.net, where you can view it online.

If you want the original high resolution (55 MB) ppt file, it is posted to yousendit.com and will be there now through Friday of this week, or for 100 downloads, whichever comes first.

Those who attended Session J yesterday saw Jessica's presentation on The Art of Books From the Real to the Virtual. Despite the fact that her plane was grounded in Birmingham due to severe weather damage, and there was no way to get to Boston, Jessica appeared at the session on time, projected live on-screen and over the speakers via Skype. She was able to give her PowerPoint show, and answered questions from the audience as well.

Publishers' Bindings Online (PBO) is an astounding resource, with 12,892 images of 5,297 books. It includes fully searchable metadata and has value-added components such as pre-packaged galleries, lesson plans, essays and much more. All the information on how this was done is in the project manual, which will assist librarians as a model for conceptualizing, funding and executing similar projects for their own collections on any subject.
