*What’s on the program?*



Metadata: How can the information community function effectively without
it? High-quality metadata drives publishers’ marketing efforts and enables
libraries’ support for discovery. Whether one is operating in the
publisher’s supply chain or in the library’s tech services, distribution
and ingestion of complete, accurate and explicit metadata is key to
success. It fuels every patron’s information activity and subsequent
assessment of satisfaction and usage.



But, best practices for creating and delivering metadata across the varied
spectrum of those who use it are not always followed. And it’s not just
about books. Metadata must be applied to the full range of content formats
– research data, recordings, and more. In a variety of settings and
systems, it sustains the information needs of an increasingly mobile
population!



During the NISO-BISG Changing Standards Landscape Forum, attendees will
hear from industry professionals working elbow-deep in identifiers, subject
classification, rights and other metadata that drive an integrated user
experience.
