[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

**Apologies for cross posting**


The 2024 NISO Plus Global/Online <https://niso.plus/> conference (September
17–18) is just over two months away! As with all NISO Plus events, the
focus is on identifying problems in the scholarly ecosystem that the
community can solve together, and the format will foster conversation
during the sessions, empowering attendees to be a part of any solutions
that might emerge. And as the early bird registration deadline (August 9)
approaches, we are excited to announce that our preliminary program
<https://np24go.sched.com/> is now available.

Proposed by members of the community and reviewed and selected by the NISO
Plus 2024–25 Planning Committee <https://niso.plus/np24-planning-committee/>,
sessions for the two-day, fully virtual event reflect a wide range of
interests and concerns in scholarly communications. The program covers
persistent identifiers and metadata; emerging technologies and AI in
scholarly publishing; research integrity; open research and open research
infrastructure; open data; and diversity, equity, inclusion, and
accessibility in scholarly communications. With speakers representing
libraries, publishers, and service/scholarly infrastructure providers from
around the world, the meeting offers a variety of perspectives on
challenges and opportunities in the global information community. And the
meeting will be held in two time blocks, allowing for live participation
across multiple time zones.

The NISO Plus Global/Online program will also feature keynote addresses
from information community leaders like Ginny Barbour
<https://niso.plus/2024/06/ginny-barbour-to-deliver-keynote-at-niso-plus-global-online/>,
editor of the Medical Journal of Australia, Adjunct Professor at Queensland
University of Technology, and advocate for open research and research
integrity. Special sessions will provide updates on current NISO standards
projects. Check our NISO Plus blog <https://niso.plus/blog/> regularly for
