NISO/BISG 9th Annual Forum:  The Changing Standards Landscape:
Managing an Increasingly Complex and Interconnected World of Content

Date: Friday, June 26, 2015
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Location: Moscone Convention Center -  MCC* - 3012 (West Building)

Event Description

Standards are critically important elements that can make any business
process more efficient. The traditional print subscription services
model, the process of handling standing book orders by libraries, and
even the process of buying, selling, and consuming ebooks through a
variety of platforms all require standardized business processes to
efficiently get content from publishers through vendors to libraries
and ultimately to patrons.

As our community adapts to changing paradigms regarding service and
ownership models specific to digital publishing, both the library and
publishing communities need to consider the implications of these
changes. Print content distribution was centered on a sales model,
where the transfer of ownership of a physical object was a core
element of the transaction; this is often not the case with digital
assets.  Generally, content is licensed and access is limited; by
rights, by term, or by community served. The implications of this
shift are quite broad both for content providers as well as libraries.
What are the business practices, roles and responsibilities, on both
sides of the new digital exchange that all parties need to be aware of
and incorporate to ensure efficient information exchange?

NISO and BISG will explore these issues during the 9th Annual
NISO/BISG Changing Standards Landscape.  During this free half-day
symposium held annually at the American Library Conference, speakers
will explore the evolving business model processes that some community
members are putting into place, discuss what is working and what
isn't, and identify problems that remain to be solved.
