What’s on the program?

 

Metadata: How can the information community function effectively without it? High-quality metadata drives publishers’ marketing efforts and enables libraries’ support for discovery. Whether one is operating in the publisher’s supply chain or in the library’s tech services, distribution and ingestion of complete, accurate, and explicit metadata is key to success. It fuels every patron’s information activity and subsequent assessment of satisfaction and usage.

 

Best practices for creating and delivering metadata to the varied spectrum of those who use it are not always followed, however. And the problem doesn't only involve books. Metadata must be applied to the full range of content formats—research data, recordings, and more. In a variety of settings and systems, metadata sustains the information needs of an increasingly mobile population.

 

During the NISO-BISG Changing Standards Landscape Forum, attendees will hear from industry professionals working elbow-deep in identifiers, subject classification, rights, and other metadata that drive an integrated user experience. 

 

Additional program details are available on the NISO event page.
