Coming Up Soon!  NISO Two Part Webinar: Understanding The Marketplace

Part One: Consolidation: The Long Term Impact and the New Owners

Wednesday, March 8, 2017

1:00pm – 2:30pm (Eastern)

Part Two: Creating The New Information Product: Workflow, Software, and Content

Wednesday, March 15, 2017

1:00pm – 2:30pm (Eastern)

The information industry continues to adapt to changes in technology,
in user expectations, and in the library marketplace. Those
adaptations have taken the form of consolidation in specific areas,
such as in integrated library systems. Who are the new players? What
exactly does a venture capitalist do, and why are they entering this
chaotic information ecosystem? The first portion of this two-part
webinar, on March 8, will review exactly what's happening in this
rapidly shifting industry.

For speaker abstracts and registration details, see the NISO event page.

Product is re-invented in new forms, buoyed by new business models.
Providers that used to be in the business of journal publishing now
are developing and licensing complex workflow environments. The second
half of this two-part webinar, held on March 15, will feature
discussions of how product design and development operates now. Some
time may also be devoted to how librarians might best work with
content providers to ensure that practical requirements are
understood, negotiated, and satisfied by these new players and
providers.

For speaker abstracts and registration details, see the NISO event page.
