What are the big issues in your part of the information world? What are the challenges and opportunities you’d most like to share with your colleagues across the global information community? With preparations for NISO Plus 2022 gathering pace, the organisers are inviting ideas for sessions at next year’s conference. Interested parties may submit a proposal for a session at NISO PLUS 2022.
The goal with NISO Plus is twofold: to spark conversations between groups within the information community that do not often have an opportunity to talk to each other; and to identify areas where there are opportunities to solve problems together and improve the information ecosystem for everyone involved.
Together with its wonderful Planning Committee, the organizers have come up with a preliminary list of broad topics of interest to information professionals around the world — librarians, publishers, vendors, and others. These include: Archiving and preservation, Cutting-edge ideas, Global issues, Information quality and ethics, Metadata, Metrics, Open research, Research infrastructure, and Sustainability.
Those with ideas for sessions on these (or other) topics, may use this form to submit their proposal(s) by close of business on November 5.
As in previous years, in line with its ongoing efforts to improve and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the information community, the organizers want to ensure that NISO Plus 2022 is as diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible as possible. Proposals that reflect a variety of perspectives — geographical, organizational, functional, etc — and that acknowledge and address DEIA challenges and opportunities will therefore be prioritized.
All talks will be pre-recorded during December and January. There will be live viewings of all accepted presentations during the conference itself, with Q&A/chat during the screening and further discussion/conversation in a variety of formats for 30-45 minutes immediately afterwards.
