[Eril-l] NISO Virtual Conference -- THAT CUTTING EDGE -- Less Than Two Weeks Away

[NISO Announce]

NISO Virtual Conference - *That Cutting Edge:  Technology’s Impact on
Scholarly Research Processes in the Library
<https://www.niso.org/events/2018/10/cutting-edge-technologys-impact-scholarly-research-processes-library>*

*Wednesday, October 24, 2018, 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Eastern, US & Canada)*



Recent years have introduced a variety of new technologies into the
mainstream, such as artificial intelligence, data science, and virtual and
augmented reality. As the research community increasingly uses these tools
and techniques to generate findings, what are the needs of the library in
supporting the research activity as well as the resulting output? This
virtual conference will explore technologies supported by the modern
research library and the impact on both workflow and workforce.



Here is what some of the speakers will be discussing:



*How to Cut Without Bleeding – Supporting Research in Higher Ed in an Age
of Technological Innovation*

*Jeremy Frumkin*, Executive Director, Research Technologies, University of
Arizona,



*New Needs, New Approaches: Libraries as Technology Collaborators*

*Susan Ivey*, Research Data & Infrastructure Librarian, North Carolina
State University;

*Darby Orcutt, *Assistant Head, Collections & Research Strategy, North
Carolina State University



*A Trusted Citizen: Libraries in a Shifting IT Environment*

*Jack Maness*, Associate Dean for Scholarly Communication and Collections
Services, University of Denver.

Digital Collections Management, College of Bryn Mawr;

·      *Patricia F. Anderson*, Emerging Technologies Informationist,
Taubman Health Sciences Library, University of Michigan
