The Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration & Innovation (PALCI) and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) have announced a consortium agreement to provide NISO Library Standards Alliance (LSA) membership to all PALCI members for an initial period of three years, beginning January 2022.
The agreement will provide library staff at 73 PALCI member libraries with full LSA membership benefits, including: free access to NISO’s educational webinar program; unlimited participation in NISO Working Groups/Standing Committees; and discounted registration for all non-webinar events, including the annual NISO Plus conference.
As lead organization for the consortium, PALCI will continue to be a NISO Voting Member, and will provide a central point of contact between NISO and the PALCI member organizations. Lehigh University, another PALCI member who had previously joined NISO, will also continue independently as a full NISO Voting Member.
