OPEN TELECONFERENCE | FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

KBART <https://niso.org/events/2025/05/opentelecon-kbart>

Monday, May 12, 3:00–4:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)

KBART <https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/kbart> is a NISO
Recommended Practice that facilitates the transfer of holdings metadata
from content providers to knowledge base suppliers and libraries. The first
iteration of KBART, which focused on journal holdings, was published in
2010; a 2014 Phase II <https://www.niso.org/publications/rp-9-2014-kbart>
revision extended support to metadata for e-books, conference proceedings,
consortial subscriptions, and some open access publications. Starting in
early 2020, the KBART Standing Committee has been hard at work on research
and actions around elements of its Phase III work
<https://groups.niso.org/higherlogic/ws/public/download/22728/KBART%20Phase%203%20Proposal%20Final%20Revised.pdf>
with subgroups addressing areas such as clarifying the recommendations,
revamping the mission statement, determining new fields, and creating a new
file guide. In this Open Teleconference, KBART Standing Committee co-chairs
Robert Heaton and Noah Levin will share updates on the progress of Phase
III and next steps.

Speakers: Keondra Bailey, Standards Program Manager, NISO; Robert Heaton,
FOLIO Implementation Consultant, EBSCO Information Services; and Noah Levin,
Manager, Metadata and Digital Asset Management, Springer Publishing

NISO TRAINING SERIES | DISCOUNTS FOR NISO MEMBERS AND GROUPS

Secrets to Changing Behavior in Scholarly Communication
<https://niso.org/events/secrets-changing-behavior-scholarly-communication-2025-niso-training-series>

Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

June 5–26, 2025

First coined as a term in the public health sector in the 1990s, social
marketing specifically refers to the application of commercial marketing
principles and practices to effect social and behavioral change. Social
marketing can also provide a framework for us to convert strategies and
tactics from the commercial sector to effect behavior change in scholarly
communication—whether that’s convincing researchers to publish in a new
journal or share their work in a new way or at a different time, or for
campus administrators to make different investment decisions, etc.

Through a combination of presentations, readings, exercises, breakout
groups, and lots of discussion time, the facilitator and guest speakers
will enable participants to build a plan for leveraging social marketing in
their work:

Training Facilitator: Jennifer Gibson, Executive Director, Dryad

Guest Speakers (Others TBA): Liz Allen, Director of Marketing,
Communications, and Strategic Development, Annual Reviews, and Nicole
Pfeiffer, Chief Product Officer, Center for Open Science.
