PresentationWhat are the connections between authors, publishers, libraries and readers of digital books?The transition of the printed word to its digital equivalent is often interpreted – particularly in the field of the circulation of knowledge – as a questioning of the roles of those involved in the selection, transformation and diffusion of that knowledge. Those working in the book trade, publishers and libraries view their roles becoming blurred and sometimes even forgotten in the new landscape created by digital technology.  In parallel, authors and readers feel that the practices of writing and reading are evolving very quickly: either for the better or the worse depending on one's personal viewpoint. However, it should be recognized that although the actors and roles in all stages of the chain may change to a varying degree, the functions remain unaltered and must be performed.The Centre for open electronic publishing is holding its second Summer university Open Electronic  Publishing from 12 to 16 September 2011. As on the first occasion, the event will consist in a coherent set of conferences, training sessions and practical workshops that will be offered to participants over a period of a full week on the Saint-Charles campus in the Université de Provence. All aspects of electronic publishing will be considered. The development of mobile reading devices, the elaboration of new economic models for open access, the emergence of new publishing roles (community manager) and new library tools (learning centres) will receive particular attention.The Open  Electronic Publishing  Summer University is an innovative educational event for all professionals involved in the diffusion of knowledge in the digital age: publishers, librarians, archivists, researchers and teacher-researchers, computer scientists and information managers in particular. During the week spent in residence, they will have the  chance to deliberate on the developments taking place in their profession in the digital era, to understand the current state of electronic publishing and to acquire practical skills in the use of the domain's various technologies.Pre-programmeHere is the long-awaited pre-programme of the   Summer university.
