NISO November Virtual Conference: Can't We All Work Together?
Interoperability & Systems Integration
Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in webinar-like
formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The
longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with
the convenience of a webinar.
Date: November 19, 2014
Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern

ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Library systems have typically operated either in silos within their own
institutions or have integrated only with other libraries’ systems. Even
the standards used by these systems have been library-specific. Today’s
networked environment, powered by the growing use of linked data, makes
structured information accessible and discoverable via the Web and makes
these traditional silos outmoded. Opportunities abound for libraries to
make their data more accessible beyond their own walls as well as to
utilize others’ data and systems to offer new services.
This virtual conference will survey some of the ways libraries have
integrated their data and systems beyond the library walls and will
explore some new projects and tools that offer ideas for the near future
of interoperability.
