NISO Announces Fall Workshops
OpenURL and Metasearch: New Standards, Current Innovation, and Future
Directions
September 19-21, 2005, Washington DC (early bird rates close August 26th)

Two NISO standards, OpenURL and Metasearch, are at the forefront of 
innovative library services. These workshops will give you an 
introduction to these standards if you are not already familiar with 
them, and will give current users great ideas for extending the reach of 
your library. Want to connect your library's holdings to Google Scholar? 
Or how about how about having seamless interaction with the local 
e-learning software? Do you want to learn how to customize linking and 
metasearching for your library? Explore all of this and more at the NISO 
Workshops on OpenURL and Metasearch.

Included is a training day designed for technical staff from all types 
of content providers (publishers, vendors and librarians). The training 
day will cover the basics of both the OpenURL and Metasearch standards, 
available software and tools for implementations, and the requirements 
for standards conformance.

You'll have a chance to learn from your colleagues and expert speakers 
in question and answer periods and informal networking during breaks, 
meals, and during a workshop reception. 

Sponsoring vendors will highlight the features of their products in 
Vendor Showcases and in Exhibits. The venue is the spacious 
state-of-the-art conference facility at the AED headquarters near DuPont 
Circle in Washington, D.C.

NISO workshops have been sell-outs so register now to take advantage of 
early-bird rates.

exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities, and to register.
