NISO WEBINAR - FREE FOR NISO MEMBERS

Combating the Misuse of Information
<https://www.niso.org/events/combating-misuse-information>

Wednesday, May 10, 2023, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

One of the great challenges of today’s information environment is the
constant need to avoid misuse or deliberate misinterpretation of
information. This is as much of a problem for those working in the content
sector as it is for those working in the library or classroom. The distrust
that it creates is a disservice to scientists, scholars, and researchers in
all fields. There are no easy solutions, but the participants in this
roundtable discussion will share creative ways of combating the problem and
protecting the value and credibility of the research they—and we—rely on.

Confirmed speakers: Mystery Beck <https://library.port.ac.uk/w112.html>,
Subject Librarian for Criminology and Law, The University of Portsmouth; Anna
Nemzer <https://pen.org/russian-internet-media-archive-anna-nemzer/>,
Author, Journalist, and Archivist, Russian Independent Media Archive;
others TBA.

NISO VIRTUAL CONFERENCE - DISCOUNTED FOR NISO MEMBERS

Metadata and Discovery: Quality Is Key
<https://www.niso.org/events/metadata-and-discovery-quality-key>

Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 12:00–4:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)

What is the role of metadata in discovery, access, and use? Is it working?
Is our metadata satisfying the requirements of the rising population of
students, readers, and researchers? How do content and platform providers
ensure that their metadata is high quality? Who is responsible for
assigning it and ensuring its interoperability across multiple systems?

Metadata is critical to success, but it is increasingly complicated to work
with. For example, in addition to descriptive metadata, individuals may
also need specific legal or administrative metadata in order to clarify
appropriate rights for usage. This virtual conference will bring together
experts from across the information community to discuss current behaviors,
practices, and applications for metadata.

Register here
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-virtual-conference-metadata-and-discovery-quality-is-key-registration-440981556707>.
Discounts available for NISO Voting/LSA members and NASIG members;
full-time students, and unemployed/retired registrants.

Please visit our events page <https://www.niso.org/events> for more
information, including updates on confirmed speakers. We hope to see you
next month!

Best wishes
