The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has announced a strong slate of programs for 2018. Members will benefit from an array of webinars, virtual conferences, and training programs, all tailored toward users who seek better ways of creating and using information systems and services. Professionals in libraries and related technology companies are the target audience for the events, and the material on offer is developed and presented by leaders in those fields.
The webinar topics for 2018 will address: Annotation - Practices and Tools in a Digital Environment; The Evolving Natures of Reference Work and Reference Product; Library as Publisher (Two-Part Webinar); Can There Be Neutrality in Cataloging? A Conversation Starter; Trends in Technology: Smart Services in the Academic Library; Innovative Tools and Apps: What's Hot; Discovery: Where Researchers Start; Using Analytics to Extract Value from the Library's Data (Two-Part Webinar); Library Funding, Advocacy, and Strategic Approaches to Funding Scholarly Initiatives (Two-Part Webinar); Building Diversity in the Workforce; and Maker Spaces: Things that Go Bop, Whizz, and Clank!
Next year will also see NISO presenting several of its popular, five-hour virtual conferences, some of which are followed by a relevant Training Thursday event.
For those interested in maximizing their training dollars, subscription options are available. For webinars, NISO members may sign up for the Buy 9, Get 5 Free package, and ensure access to all 14 of the NISO webinars. Alternatively, members may opt for the Buy 5, Get 4 Free package, and choose nine webinars from the 2018 line up. Organisations pay a single fee to enable viewing access for multiple team members in a collaborative group setting. Webinar registrants hold access to the recorded version for a full year, allowing even greater opportunity for staff to benefit from that single registration. Similarly, those wishing to pay for the full set of virtual conferences being offered in 2018 may do by subscribing to the Buy 3, Get 3 Free package.
A full roster of events is available at the NISO website.
