CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2004

Innodata Isogen (NASDAQ:INOD), a leading supplier of content supply chain solutions, is organizing with the Newberry Library in Chicago a series of discussions on digital content technologies and their impact on educational and cultural institutions.

The symposium, titled "The Economics of Digitization: Toward Sustainability and Institutional Collaboration," is expected to attract more than 150 representatives from the leading libraries, museums, and historical societies in Chicago and the greater Midwest.

The symposium will take place on May 17th and 18th at the Newberry Library in Chicago and panelists will include representatives from the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society, the University of Chicago Press and University of Chicago Libraries, the University of Illinois, Northwestern University, the University of Michigan Libraries, and the Center for Research Libraries.

"One of the most exciting venues of collaboration among cultural and educational institutions in the digital arena is Chicago," said Peter Kaufman of Innodata Isogen, who is helping to organize the conference. "It's important to enable digitization initiatives to become more sustainable, and instigating this sort of collaboration may be helpful. Our many clients--for-profit and non-for-profit--have much to tell and teach each other."

A leader in digital content management and publishing services, Innodata Isogen is well known for its work in humanities computing, as well as the commercial publishing sector. Ongoing work with the University of Illinois Press, the University of Virginia Libraries and The Smithsonian Institution Libraries, for example, has required the digitization of core historical collections and materials.

"We in the world of humanities know that digitization and content management are the present, not the future," said James Grossman, Vice President for Research and Education at the Newberry Library. "The Newberry Library - like other libraries - is determining how best to integrate new digital initiatives with our institutional mandates. We look forward to hosting this important meeting."

There is no charge for admission to the symposium, but attendees must register. For more information, or to sign up, call Carolyn Muzyka 201-488-1200 ext. 5215, or simply go to http://www.innodata-isogen.com/events_main/economics_of_digitization.
