Did you ever wonder how certain books end up on the shelves of the MIT Libraries?  Did you ever wonder why you can access certain e-books and not others?   Come to this session and learn how MIT subject librarians select books in print and electronic formats for the MIT Community.   We will look at some groups of books on specific subjects, and you can identify which books you would select and compare them to the library selections and the selections of other attendees.

Suggest subject areas to the organizer when your register.
