NISO Announces Fall Workshops
OpenURL and Metasearch: New Standards, Current Innovation, and Future
Directions
September 19-21, 2005, Washington DC (early bird rates close August 26th)
Two NISO initiatives, OpenURL and Metasearch, are at the forefront of
innovative library services. These workshops will give you an introduction
to these standards if you are not already familiar with them, and will give
current users great ideas for extending the reach of your library. Want to
connect your library's holdings to Google Scholar? Or how about how about
having seamless interaction with the local e-learning software? Do you want
to learn how to customize linking and metasearching for your library?
Explore all of this and more at the NISO Workshops on OpenURL and
Metasearch.
Included is a training day designed for technical staff from all types of
content providers (publishers, vendors and librarians). The training day
will cover the basics of both the OpenURL standard and the Metasearch
Initiative, available software and tools for implementations, and the
requirements for standards / best practices conformance.
You'll have a chance to learn from your colleagues and expert speakers in
question and answer periods and informal networking during breaks, meals,
and during a workshop reception.
Sponsoring vendors will highlight the features of their products in Vendor
Showcases and in Exhibits. The venue is the spacious state-of-the-art
conference facility at the AED headquarters near DuPont Circle in
Washington, D.C.
NISO workshops have been sell-outs so register now to take advantage of
early-bird rates.
