Abstract

This is a link to the events page, with presentation slides, of the NISO (National Information Standards Organization) Annual Members Meeting and Standards Update. This event, which usually takes place concurrent with the American Librarian Association annual conference, took place online on June 26, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

From the NISO website:

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our annual members meeting will look a bit different this year. We usually hold an in-person meeting at the ALA Annual Conference, but since that has been cancelled, we are inviting you to attend the annual meeting virtually instead. The NISO Annual Members Meeting and Standards Update will take place via Zoom on Friday, June 26, from 11am - 12.30pm EDT/4pm - 5.30pm BST. You will hear from our Executive Director, Todd Carpenter, and other NISO staff about important organizational issues, including our strategic planning process for 2020-2022, the completion of the NISO/NFAIS merger, the inaugural NISO Plus conference, our organizational finances, and our standards program plans for the coming year. The meeting is also a chance for you to share your own feedback about NISO and our work, and to ask us any questions you have about our organization and how we operate.

Following the Members Meeting portion of the session, Working Group members and NISO staff will provide updates on several NISO projects:

• Content Platform Migrations - Kim Steinle, Duke University Press
• E-Book Metadata Working Group - Ravit David, Scholars Portal, Alistair Morrison, Johns Hopkins
• KBART - Andrée Rathemacher, University of Rhode Island, Noah Levin, Independent
• Open Discovery Initiative - Rachel Kessler, ProQuest
• Seamless Access - Jason Griffey, NISO
