<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What’s on the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Metadata: How can the information community function
effectively without it? High-quality metadata drives publishers’ marketing
efforts and enables libraries’ support for discovery. Whether one is operating
in the publisher’s supply chain or in the library’s tech services, distribution
and ingestion of complete, accurate, and explicit metadata is key to success.
It fuels every patron’s information activity and subsequent assessment of
satisfaction and usage.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best practices for creating and delivering metadata to the
varied spectrum of those who use it are not always followed, however. And the problem
doesn't only involve books. Metadata must be applied to the full range of
content formats—research data, recordings, and more. In a variety of settings
and systems, metadata sustains the information needs of an increasingly mobile
population.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the NISO-BISG Changing Standards Landscape Forum,
attendees will hear from industry professionals working elbow-deep in
identifiers, subject classification, rights, and other metadata that drive an
integrated user experience. <span></span></p>
