NISO Journal Article Versions Survey

June 2, 2010

NISO is hoping for a broad response to its survey on version practices related to journal articles. You’ll find a link to the survey below.

-Joan Lippincott

Online publishing allows for the release of multiple versions of journal articles — and these growing practices are redefining our concept of “publishing” and the “version of record.” How do we determine when a manuscript is considered final? Which version should be cited? How do we best indicate online article versions?

In 2008, NISO published the Recommended Practice, “Journal Article Versions (JAV): Recommendations of the NISO/ALPSP JAV Technical Working Group” (NISO RP-8-2008; available at http://www.niso.org/publications/rp). The recommended version classifications could be incorporated into article metadata for database management, archiving and cataloging, online display, and more.

Now, NISO would like to hear what you think — how do you manage version control of journal articles? Are you amenable to industry standards for online versions? Who is responsible for managing such version metadata? Please take a moment to contribute your perspectives by answering this short survey by July 16, 2010. It should take no more than five minutes to complete. Following the survey, a report of the results will be made available on the NISO website.

The survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PBJSPKR

Thank you for your time!

Best,
Karen Wetzel, Standards Program Manager, NISO
Lettie Conrad, Online Product Manager, SAGE Publications, Inc.

NISO RFID Webinar

April 7, 2010

NISO to hold April 14 Webinar on “RFID in Libraries: Standards and Expanding Use”

Existing ANSI and ISO standards outline the radio frequencies and character encoding on an RFID tag but don’t address the specific needs for interoperability in a library environment. A NISO working group issued a Recommended Practice in 2008 on “RFID in U.S. Libraries” as an interim best practice until the ISO standardization effort was completed. That ISO standard is nearing its final stages and is expected to be finalized in late 2010 or early 2011. NISO’s working group will be undertaking a revision of the recommended practice to align it with the international standard.

NISO’s webinar, “RFID in Libraries: Standards and Expanding Use,” on April 14, 2010 from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. (Eastern), will look at the latest developments in both of these standardization efforts regarding the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in libraries and share the experience of an actual implementation of RFID. Learn about RFID data models for library applications, what data is specified to be on an RFID tag, and which encoding schemes to use. Hear about experiences in implementing the NISO Recommended Practice and the issues that must be addressed beyond technology when RFID is introduced.

Topics and speakers for the webinar:

Topics and speakers for the webinar:

— ISO Standard on RFID in Libraries — Paul Sevcik, Senior Product Development Specialist, 3M Library Systems

— U.S. Implementation of RFID in Libraries — Vinod Chachra, CEO, VTLS, Inc.

— Case Study of RFID Library Implementation — Speaker TBA

Can’t make it on the scheduled day and time? Registrants get access to the recorded version for one year; watch at your convenience. NISO and NASIG members receive a discounted member rate. A student discount is also available.

NISO Forum: Discovery to Delivery

January 28, 2010

CNI Associate Executive Director Joan Lippincott will give the keynote at this conference, providing perspectives on how users are discovering and using information today.
———————–
Join NISO for the one-day forum “Discovery to Delivery:  Creating a First-Class User Experience” on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center, Atlanta, GA.

ABOUT THE FORUM

There is information everywhere today and access to it relies on a seamless discovery process that offers all appropriate options to the unassisted information seeker. The journey between discovery and delivery is accomplished with a variety of differing technologies and processes, many of which depend on a reliable and accurate knowledge base of coverage information. As demands on these technologies change and expand, NISO supports a variety of efforts to strengthen and improve them. This forum will explore new and innovative ways to meet user’s needs and expectations for discovery and delivery of content in the networked world.

NISO members receive a substantial discount. Early bird discounts for all registrants are available through March 12, 2010. A student discount is also available. For more information and to register, visit www.niso.org/news/events/2010/d2d/.
