**Apologies for cross posting**

NISO Plus 2025 in Baltimore <https://niso.plus/niso-plus-2025-baltimore/>is
just a few weeks away! Our meeting program
<https://nisoplusbaltimore25.sched.com/> includes three timely,
collaborative pre-conferences (February 10) focused on generating ideas for
solutions to challenges in the information community, including ethical use
of AI and assessing the value of open access content. Tickets are very
affordable, starting at just $99 for the half-day sessions!


   -

   Artificial Intelligence in Scholarship and Research
   <https://nisoplusbaltimore25.sched.com/event/1olMR/pre-conference-artificial-intelligence-in-scholarship-and-research>
   (February 10, 8:30 am–12:00 pm) will not only take a deep dive into the
   latest AI tools used in scholarly communications, but also advance the
   conversation around their responsible use. The pre-conference begins with
   technical experts from across the industry exploring the products currently
   in use in the community. Attendees will then use the ARL/CNI Artificial
   Intelligence Scenarios to identify opportunities for libraries, publishers,
   vendors, and researchers to develop best practices and standards around the
   development, use, and evaluation of AI tools.
   -

   Assessing OA eBook Usage
   <https://nisoplusbaltimore25.sched.com/event/1olMU/pre-conference-assessing-oa-book-usage-can-we-find-a-shared-set-of-standards>
(1:00
   pm–5:00 pm) will address a pressing problem in scholarly communications:
   the need for a shared, community-developed set of guidelines and best
   practices for judging the performance of open access monographs. Led by
   representatives from libraries, publishers, aggregators, and more, speakers
   will work with participants to explore solutions and identify areas for
   collaboration.
   -

   JATS-Con <https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/jats-con/2025/schedule2025.html> (9:00
   am–5:00 pm), the user conference for the Journal Article Tag Suite
   standard, will also be held as a full-day pre-conference adjacent to NISO
   Plus. Attend this full day of presentation and discussion to get the latest
   on JATS and its most recent revision as well as new use cases involving
   multilingual documents, making content more accessible, and more.
