The Changing Standards Landscape: 17th Annual NISO/BISG Forum

This forum will explore the significant opportunities and existential
threats that artificial intelligence poses for the book publishing
industry. It will delve into the exciting potential for enhancing
efficiencies, improving accessibility, and automating workflows. However,
ethical flags will also be raised regarding representation biases,
copyright, and privacy. This event offers insight into AI-informed
publishing’s future while advocating for ethical and regulatory concerns.

Director of Accessibility Outreach and Communication, Macmillan Learning; Thad
Mcllroy, Electronic Publishing Analyst and Author, and President of The
Future of Publishing; Barbara Kline Pope, Director, Johns Hopkins
University Press; Judy Ruttenberg, Program Director, Association of
Research Libraries; Robin Sloan, Author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

The NISO Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Project (CCLP)
<https://www.niso.org/events/niso-ala-annual-2024>

The NISO Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Project (CCLP) seeks to
overcome serious barriers to wider implementations of cooperative
collections management, including the lack of available vendor-neutral
interoperable systems, adequate governance and decision-making frameworks,
and assessment tools. This session will describe the project at a high
level and also provide an update on recent actions that have been taken
under the auspices of funding from IMLS, including NISO working groups
creating a Recommended Practice, ITHAKA S+R research, and user interface
prototyping.

Moderator: Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO


Sunday, June 30, 10:30am–11:30am, Room 01 A

NISO’s CREC (Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of
Concern) Working Group <https://www.niso.org/events/niso-ala-annual-2024>

Retracted research is published work that is withdrawn or removed from the
scientific and scholarly record. Retracted research integrated into the
publication network via citations enables the inadvertent propagation of
potentially unsupported or fabricated data, fundamental errors, and
unreproducible results. The Communication of Retractions, Removals, and
Expressions of Concern (CREC) Working Group was formed to develop a
Recommended Practice to improve communication in the supply chain around
retractions and contribute to the maintenance of trust in the research and
publication process.

Moderators: Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO; Nettie Lagace,
Associate Executive Director, NISO


Sunday, June 30, 1:00pm–2:00pm, Room 01 A
