*Enabling Discovery: Publishers & Libraries Talk Metadata & Monographs*

*NISO Two Part Webinar, Wednesdays, January 9 and January 16*

*1:00pm – 2:30pm*



For purposes of discovery, the metadata supplied to libraries for e-book
content must be complete, explicit and accurate. APIs have been
constructed. Best practices have been identified. What are the gaps that
still affect the user experience in identifying and navigating to needed
content? Why might be needed to bridge those gaps? This session will bring
together a cross-section of content providers and libraries to discuss the
challenges faced.



*Wednesday, January 9, Part One: Vendor Perspectives*



Confirmed Speakers: *Michael Roberts*, Content Discovery Manager, Emerald
Publishing; *Jon Elwell*, Senior Product Manager, Collection Development
and Content Strategy, EBSCO Publishing; *Susan Doerr*, Assistant Director,
Digital Publishing and Operations Manager, University of Minnesota Press



Here’s what just two of those speakers will be addressing:



*Data-driven discovery to delivery: A publisher's perspective*



What are the problems facing users when finding and using ebook content?
This talk will outline how Emerald are working to spot and fix issues
affecting the whole Discovery-to-Delivery pathway, including some case
studies illustrating where things can go wrong and how we've identified and
fixed them.



*Aggregators and Metadata: What is their Role?*



EBSCO eBooks partners with over 1,300 contract publishers and more than
4,000 imprints to host over 1.4 million eBooks and audiobooks. Each one of
those ebooks/audiobooks comes with hundreds of data points associated.
Today I am going to talk about how we handle this deluge of data by
standardizing, prioritizing and enhancing it so it can be utilized to drive
title discovery at both points of use and purchase.



Part Two of this two-part webinar, scheduled for January 16, features
participants discussing the issue from the perspective of the library.


Confirmed Speakers: *Alistair Morrison,* Manager of Library Applications,
Eisenhower Library, Johns Hopkins University; *Elizabeth Miraglia*, Assistant
Program Director, Metadata Services and Head, Books & Serials Metadata, UC
San Diego Library
