ACQflash: Free NISO/BISG Pre-ALA Conference Event: 8th Annual Changing Standards Landscape Forum

NISO/BISG 8th Annual Forum: The Changing Standards Landscape:
Managing an Increasingly Complex and Interconnected World of Content

Date: Friday, June 27, 2014
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Location: Las Vegas, NV, LVCC - N231-233

Event Description

The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and Book Industry 
Study Group (BISG) have again partnered to explore how these trends 
impact publishing, libraries, and technology standards in the 8th Annual 
Changing Standards Landscape Forum. This year’s event will focus on 
Managing an Increasingly Complex and Interconnected World of Content.

Digital content creation, distribution, and access is a worldwide 
endeavor that is much more complex than printing and shipping physical 
books or journals. Identification, description, file formats, purchasing 
models, and measurement have all been transformed by the trends of 
globalization and digitization of content distribution. For each of 
these trends, the role of standards in making these processes more 
efficient is a critical element and something all publishers and 
librarians should follow closely. Both communities have a lot to learn 
from each other regarding how standards work undertaken in the 
publishing community affects libraries and vice-versa.
