MONTHLY ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR | FREE FOR NISO MEMBERS

Author Rights <https://www.niso.org/events/author-rights>

Wednesday, January 10, 11:00 am–12:00 pm ET (US/Canada)

Authors must navigate a variety of distribution models when thinking about
sharing their content. Does one choose a subscription-based or open access
publication? The decision may also mean juggling institutional and
grant-related requirements regarding venue and copyright. Choosing is
daunting. In concert, librarians and publishers must grasp the implications
of the services offered, from read and publish contracts to rights
retention policies. By engaging community leaders working closely on these
issues, this roundtable will delve into important topics at the
intersection of accessibility, cost, and authorship to reveal important
insights about the ever-changing scholarly communications environment.

Confirmed speakers (others TBA) include Kyle Courtney, Director of
Copyright and Information Policy, Harvard University Library, Judy
Ruttenberg, Senior Director, Scholarship and Policy, ARL (Association of
Research Libraries) and David Weinreich, Director of Public Affairs of the
Americas, STM and Principle, Weinreich Strategic Group.

NISO PLUS PRE-CONFERENCE

Introduction to AI and Machine Learning in Scholarly Communications
<https://sched.co/1UlA7>

Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland

Monday, February 12, 1:00–5:00 pm ET (US/Canada)

Join us for an afternoon workshop examining the current state of AI and
machine learning systems. We'll look at the history of how we got where we
are and explore what the current state-of-the-art machine learning services
(both analytical and generative AI) can do. We'll also have some time to
explore a variety of tools in order to illustrate how these systems work.
You'll come away with a thorough understanding of how machine learning
systems work, how they might be used in your organization, and the risks
involved in those uses.
