OpenURL and Metasearch:
New Standards, Current Innovations, and Future Directions
A NISO educational workshop to be held:
September 19-21, 2005, Washington DC
Don’t miss this opportunity to get the latest information on OpenURL and
Metasearch, two standards supporting technologies that continue to transform
the information landscape. NISO's OpenURL standard and Metasearch
technologies are complementary tools that can powerfully improve the
experience of today's information seeker. This series of workshops will take
you from the foundations to the cutting edge of these new directions in
information technology.
New this year: We are offering an optional training day for technical staff
from all types of content providers (publishers, vendors, and librarians).
Training will cover the basics of implementation, available tools, and
requirements for standards conformance. In this highly networked world, the
key to success is "learning to play well with others" -- the training day
will tell you how.
In addition: The program includes opportunities for dialog with experts and
informal networking during breaks, meals, and a special conference
reception. Sponsoring vendors will highlight the features of their products
in Vendor Showcases and in Exhibits. Our workshop venue is the spacious
state-of-the-art conference facility at the Academy for Educational
Development near DuPont Circle in Washington, D.C.
