NEW YORK - This year's BookExpo America will be a story of networking, the old way and the new.
Starting tomorrow, thousands of authors, publishers, booksellers and librarians will gather at the Jacob Javits Convention Center to discuss what's coming out and what's going on.
They will catch up as they always have, face to face, at exhibitors' booths and in conference rooms, in restaurants, bars and hotels.
For the first time, MySpace .com will attend the convention, hosting a panel on networking and serving as a supporting BEA sponsor.
The industry has increasingly turned to the Internet social site, which features reading groups, author postings and its own list of the most popular titles, ranked by the number of "blog links."
Also debuting at BookExpo will be Shelfari.com, which allows book lovers to share opinions and recommendations. *
