[Eril-l] NISO Educational Events, August 2018 - UPDATED

[NISO Announce]

*Forthcoming NISO Events, August 2018*



*NISO Webinar – Two Weeks from Today!*

*Wednesday, August 8, 2018, 1:00pm - 2:30pm (Eastern Daylight) *

*Discovery: Where Researchers Start*
<https://www.niso.org/events/2018/08/discovery-where-researchers-start>

If the discovery resources available via the library don’t necessarily
serve as the faculty’s starting line for launching cutting-edge research,
then what’s the next step? Published in early 2017, ITHAKA’s US Library
Survey of roughly 1,500 institutional libraries indicated a diminishing
expectation that the institutional library will be the starting point for
researchers. What does that suggest for content providers and for library
professionals? How does a library know that faculty are using something
else? How can libraries draw upon that knowledge of researcher preferences
to improve their own services?

*NISO Virtual Conference – Three Weeks from Today!*

*Wednesday, August 15, 11am – 5pm*

*The Computer Campus: Integrating Information Systems and Services
<https://www.niso.org/events/2018/08/computer-campus-integrating-information-systems-and-services>*



Super computing is used by scientists and engineers working on complex
research problems. Such investigations may involve data-intensive
applications that consume enormous amounts of bandwidth and computing
power. Instruction on campus is increasingly tied to learning management
systems, which require seamless integration with information resources
found in libraries.



At the same time, libraries are expressing numerous concerns associated
with digital asset and access management. Where is the institutional IT
department and just how far can its resources be stretched? This virtual
event will look at systems demands found on campus and offer examples of
how innovative research institutions (and most particularly, their
libraries) are meeting the challenges of talent-sourcing, integration, and
support.



Our first block of speakers will address the topic at a high level. The
second block of speakers will address specific types of computing and IT
services that the library is asked to support in some fashion and the third
block of speakers will cover policy concerns, such as privacy and ethical
use of collected data.



*Confirmed Speakers: *

·      *Robert H. McDonald*, Dean of University Libraries, University of
Colorado - Boulder;
