MONTHLY ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR | FREE FOR NISO MEMBERS

Multilingual Content and Its Use
<https://www.niso.org/events/multilingual-content-and-its-use>

Wednesday, September 13, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

Historically, the lingua franca of science has been English, but there is
growing recognition that this places an unacceptable barrier to inclusion,
equity, and access for information creators and consumers alike. In an age
of machine translation, can we overcome this barrier to access? Is the
current technology up to the challenge? Our speakers will discuss the
challenges and opportunities for maximizing the use of multilingual content.

Confirmed speakers (others TBA) include Dan Connor, Associate Editor,
Manager, & Senior Index Editor (Iberian & Latin American Literatures),
Modern Language Association; and Hélène Huet, European Studies Librarian,
University of Florida.

Registration is not required for NISO members. Non-NISO members, please

NISO Plus Forum 2023 <https://niso.plus/forum/>

Tuesday, October 3, 8:30 am–5:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)

Location: American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC

The theme of our second NISO Plus Forum is a timely one—AI and Machine
Learning in Scholarly Publishing: Services, Data, and Ethics. The event
features a format organized around “World Cafe” discussions, with the focus
primarily on practical work in small groups to help shape NISO’s standards
development priorities. It’s a great opportunity to share perspectives with
a diverse group of colleagues from across the information industry.
