NISO Session on Metadata Will Lead into NASIG Conference

On June 4, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) will
hold a one-day forum on "Metadata in a Digital Age: New Models of
Creation, Discovery, and Use" before the opening of the North American
Serials Interest Group (NASIG) conference June 5-8 in Phoenix, AZ. This
session will cover the role that metadata plays in the lifecycle of
content, from publisher to end user, including looking at the shifting
bibliographic supply chain, various needs that metadata answers, and
questions around exchange processes and how different metadata is used.

NASIG welcomes this opportunity to partner with NISO by bringing their
insights and standards development together with NASIG's 2008 Annual
Conference: Taking the Sting out of Serials. Our conference this year is
focused on finding best practices for serials management, and NASIG is
excited to invite NISO to present a rich pre-conference program
reflecting their commitment to help make all information management
easier and more reliable through standards application.  NASIG hopes
that this collaboration will lead to more such programs in the future.

Speakers include the following:
*    Kevin Cohn, Director of Client Services, Atypon Systems, Inc.
*    Les Hawkins, Serial Record Division, Library of Congress
*    Helen Henderson, Managing Director of Information Power,
Ringgold
*    Regina Reynolds, Head, U.S. ISSN Center, National Serials Data
Program, Library of Congress
*    Steven C. Shadle, Serials Access Librarian, University of
Washington
