The Evolving Natures of Reference Work and Reference Product
<http://www.niso.org/events/2018/02/evolving-natures-reference-work-and-reference-product>



In an age when rapid reference inquiries may be handled through a mobile
phone and a search engine, reference work in the library must change and
expand. How is that unfolding? What are the new expectations of the
information products once referred to as major reference works – those
comprehensive or subject-specific encyclopedias and indexes that served
library professional and patron? How are librarians combining free and
subscription resources? This webinar will examine a variety of approaches
to enhanced service.

*NISO Virtual Conference*

*Wednesday, February 14, 11:00am - 5:00pm*

The Preprint: Integrating the Form into the Scholarly Ecosystem
<http://www.niso.org/events/2018/02/preprint-integrating-form-scholarly-ecosystem>



According to Wikipedia, the preprint is a “version of a scholarly
or scientific paper that precedes publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly
or scientific journal”. Preprint archives, such as arXiv and SSRN, rapidly
achieved prominence in both the hard and social sciences as rapid access to
new work became a priority. It’s wonderful to have those platforms, but
what are best practices for libraries and other content providers in
working with them? Should preprints be assigned DOIs? What relationship
should exist between pre-prints and discovery services? What is the
interoperability with link resolvers like? What are the implications for
citation practices?
