NISO Institutional Repository Forum -- Early Bird Registration Ends 
November 16

Early bird registration for the NISO forum, "Getting the Most Out of 
Your Institutional Repository: Gathering Content and Building Use," ends 
on November 16. Be sure to register by then to take advantage of the 
substantial discounts. NISO and PALINET members are eligible for 
additional discounts.

This one-day event, cosponsored by PALINET, will take place December 3, 
2007 at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland. The 
forum asks library and information service providers to think about how 
to take advantage of an organization's repository once it is implemented 
by looking at:

-- Managing local, digital material

-- Metadata and formatting challenges

-- Rights management issues

-- OAI Object Reuse and Exchange

-- Faculty and librarian use and attitudes

-- Electronic theses and dissertations

Visit the event webpage 
(http://www.niso.org/news/events_workshops/ir07/) for details and to 
register. Contact Karen Wetzel (kwetzel at niso.org), NISO Standards 
Program Manager, for more information.

The NISO Institutional Repository forum is cosponsored by PALINET with 
major sponsorship from ProQuest. Additional sponsorship is provided by 
The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress).
