It will also provide information on the current progress of the associated Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Infrastructure Project (CCLIP) and the Working Groups within this project. *Confirmed speakers: Todd Carpenter*, Executive Director, NISO; *Jill Morris,* Executive Director, PALCI; and *Boaz Nadav-Manes,* University Librarian, Lehigh University. *This event is free and open to the public, but please register <https://nationalinformationstandardsorganization.cmail19.com/t/j-l-skujyul-diydlkkdjr-h/> to attend.* VIRTUAL TRAINING SERIES | EARLY BIRD DEADLINE TOMORROW MARCH 21 *AI and Prompt Design* <https://nationalinformationstandardsorganization.cmail19.com/t/j-l-skujyul-diydlkkdjr-k/> *Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada) April 4–May 23, 2024* This course will introduce students to prompt engineering with large language models (LLMs)—how you design and tailor a message to get an LLM to perform a specific task.

The first iteration of the KBART Recommended Practice, which focused on journal holdings, was published in 2010; a 2014 "Phase II" revision extended support to metadata for e-books, conference proceedings, consortial subscriptions, and some open access publications. Starting in early 2020, the KBART Standing Committee has been hard at work on research and actions around elements of its Phase III work with subgroups addressing areas of work such as clarifying the recommendations, revamping the mission statement, determining new fields, and creating a new file guide. *Speakers: Jason Friedman,* Senior Manager, Heritage Services, Canadian Research Knowledge Network; *Robert Heaton*, FOLIO Implementation Consultant, EBSCO Information Services; and *Noah Levin,* Manager, Metadata & Digital Asset Management, Springer Publishing *This event is provided as a public service at no cost to the information community.
