NISO Virtual Conference: Web-Scale Discovery Services: Transforming Access
to Library Resources
Virtual conferences are new type of educational event that NISO is offering
this year. These 5-6 hour conferences are held online in webinar-like
formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The longer
length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the
convenience of a webinar.
Date: November 20, 2013
Time: 11:00 - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)
Event webpage: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2013/virtual/discovery
ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Web-scale Discovery Services are becoming an integral part of libraries'
information gathering arsenal. These services are able to use a single
interface to seamlessly integrate results from a wide range of online
sources, emulating the experience patrons have come to expect from Internet
search engines. But despite their ability to streamline searching, Discovery
Services provide a wide set of challenges for libraries who implement them.
NISO's third virtual conference, Web-Scale Discovery Services: Transforming
Access to Library Resources, will touch on the potential of discovery
services, how to select a product, as well as the issues and challenges
involved.
