[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

**Apologies for cross posting**

Join the conversation—registration for our 2026 NISO Plus Global/Online
<https://niso.plus/> conference (September 16–17, 2026) is now open! Our
two-day virtual meeting brings together representatives from libraries,
publishers, technology and service providers, government agencies, and more
to focus on some of the most pressing challenges facing the information
community.

For 2026, the NISO Plus Planning Committee
<https://niso.plus/niso-plus-2026-2027-planning-committee/> has selected a
theme for the conference, “Connecting Human Futures and Intelligent Systems
through Standards.” The theme reflects our recognition of the growing
importance and impact of AI in the academic ecosystem, but also reminds us
that it’s critical for our AI-related standards work to keep humans front,
center, and in the loop. Topics we plan to cover in our program include AI
and metadata, research integrity, open research, accessibility, AI usage
statistics, managing AI agents, and more.

As always, our goal for NISO Plus Global/Online <https://niso.plus> is to
foster discussions that identify shared challenges and potential solutions.
To that end, our conference program will incorporate interactivity
throughout the two days. This year, each session will be followed by
breakout discussions in order to allow a greater number of attendees to
participate. We’ll use these discussions to seed ideas for future NISO
projects. And our standards update sessions will also include built-in time
for discussion, allowing the community to offer feedback on next steps and
potential revisions.

Our meeting would not be possible without our generous sponsors
<https://niso.plus/niso-plus-2026-global-online-sponsors/>, who have helped
us to keep registration rates flat over 2025. Thank you to Cadmore Media
(our platform partner), Figshare (our slide repository), the American
