The National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS™), a global, nonprofit membership organisation serving the information community, has announced the launch of a virtual program called the NFAIS Lunch & Learn Education Series.
As part of this program, NFAIS invites information experts and professionals to submit presentations to speak in one of the scheduled Lunch & Learn webinars beginning in September 2015. Accepted presenters will share their experiences and expertise on relevant topics in information services, and make valuable contributions to the information community.
Interested potential speakers can submit presentations by August 7, 2015 to be considered for acceptance by NFAIS's Workshop and Webinar Planning Committee for the first set of webinars this fall and in 2016.
Attendees of the Lunch & Learn education series will have access to a dynamic, interactive webinar forum to hear from their peers and learn about emerging technologies, innovative business models, plus new thinking and ideas in the scholarly research and publishing fields. The Lunch & Learn Series is free for NFAIS members while non-members are charged a nominal fee.
Throughout the NFAIS Lunch & Learn education series, presenters will be scholarly and commercial publishers, government officials, entrepreneurial startup leaders, research librarians, data and database professionals and more. Topics covered will range widely from open access, discovery and mobility of information, research data management and publication, the globalization of content, to how new content platforms are changing the game for scholarly researchers and publishers. Attendees of this education series will be at the forefront of understanding what's new, cutting edge and thought-provoking in the information services community.
Presenters can read about the NFAIS Lunch & Learn presentation guidelines and the evaluation process at the program's website.
