<p class="MsoNormal">The first half of this two-part webinar program (held November
1) provided an overview of the current landscape of options available to
academic institutions for ensuring and streamlining access to materials by
legitimate users. What’s working, which technological approaches may be
outdated, and what needs to be done (research, technology upgrades, etc.) to
resolve related problems?<b> The November 1 (Part One)</b> speaker titles and
abstracts are viewable on the <a href="http://www.niso.org/news/events/2017/webinars/nov1_webinar/">NISO event

<p class="MsoNormal">The second half of this webinar (scheduled for November 15)
will discuss the issues associated with delivering quality metadata by and to
various stakeholders. Based on comments heard at conferences and in meetings,
it’s an old issue. But what are the existing barriers to delivering reliable
metadata? What improvements might be made in the process? What stands in the
way of successful implementation?<span></span></p>

Harvesting and Analyzing the Data</i></a><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2016, NISO announced an initiative aimed at the development
of best practices for documenting and understanding users’ paths between
discovery of content and accessing the content. Did users come in from a
discovery service, Google Scholar, or some other available channel? What should
that signify to service providers? What does that mean for libraries? This
session will spotlight the size and scope of the issue as well as the progress
that may be made towards its resolution.<span></span></p>
