NISO will continue its monthly open teleconference series next Monday, March 14th at 3:00 PM. This month, we will be discussing the NISO/NFAIS Supplemental Journal Article Materials Working Group project. This joint project from NISO and NFAIS(the National Federation of Advanced Information Services) aims to develop a Recommended Practice for publisher inclusion, handling, display, and preservation of supplemental journal article materials. Linda Beebe, Senior Director, PsycINFO at American Psychological Association, who serves as co-chair of the Business subgroup of the project will lead the conversation.
The Open Teleconferences are an quick way to get an update on the status of a NISO initiative. The calls are informal and questions and discussion is welcome. Following the featured discussion, there is also an opportunity for the NISO community to bring up any issue or topic of interest. This is an excellent time for you to raise any concerns, project ideas, or suggestions of focus for NISO in the coming year.
Other upcoming calls will be on on Z39.7 (Library Metrics & Statistics) Standing Committee Update on April 11; DAISY Revision Working Group Update on May 9; and the ISO TC 46 Work Update on June 13. Please mark your calendars. If you are unable to join us, this call will be recorded and made freely available on the NISO website following the event?as are all of the Open Teleconferences.
