NISO Forum: The Future of Library Resource Discovery

NISO will host a two–day meeting to take place in Baltimore, Maryland
on October 5 & 6, 2015 on The Future of Library Discovery. In February
2015, NISO published a white paper commissioned from library
consultant Marshall Breeding by NISO's Discovery to Delivery Topic
Committee. The in-person meeting will be an extension of the white
paper with a series of presenters and panels offering an overview of
the current resource discovery environment. Attendees will then
participate in several conversations that will examine possibilities
regarding how these technologies, methodologies, and products might be
able to adapt to changes in the evolving information landscape in
scholarly communications and to take advantage of new technologies,
metadata models, or linking environments to better accomplish the
needs of libraries to provide access to resources.

Confirmed speakers include:
