*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.



Best practices for creating and delivering metadata to the varied spectrum
of those who use it are not always followed, however. And the problem
doesn't only involve books. Metadata must be applied to the full range of
content formats—research data, recordings, and more. In a variety of
settings and systems, metadata 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.
