[Web4lib] NISO / EDItEUR ONIX for Serials Webinar: Speaker Roster Finalized

[Cynthia Hodgson]

The speakers have been finalized for the NISO / EDItEUR webinar on ONIX 
for Serials: Case Studies of Use, to be held on December 11, 2008 from 
1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). EDItEUR and NISO have also jointly 
sponsored the ONIX for Serials projects, messaging formats developed to 
provide a means of sharing information about serials products and 
subscriptions so that it can be understood and used by computers 
throughout the supply chain process.

Tim Devenport, Nature Publishing Group, will discuss ONIX SPS (Serials 
Products and Subscriptions), which enables the communication of 
information about serial subscription products, with or without price 
information, including the option of sharing subscription information 
relating to a particular subscriber.

Jerry Ward, ProQuest Platform Product Manager will speak on ONIX SOH 
(Serials Online Holdings), which allows publishers and content providers 
to communicate library-specific, detailed holdings information from 
publications access management systems to libraries.

William Hoffman, Swets Information Services, will talk about ONIX SRN 
(Serials Release Notification) is a format for communicating information 
about the publication or electronic availability of one or more serial 
releases—letting you know when an item is available. SRN can work both 
at the issue and article level to assist libraries in claiming and with 
link resolver access.

Katharina Klemperer, EDItEUR Consultant, will join the webinar 
presenters for the Q&A portion, where attendees will have ample 
opportunity to ask questions during the event. The questions asked 
during the event and their answers will be posting to the event website 
following the webinar.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is for publishers and content providers who are interested 
in learning how to implement the ONIX for Serials messages as a service 
for their customers, and for librarians who are interested in receiving 
this information and would like to learn more about how to do so. Anyone 
who would like to know more about what information each of these message 
formats provides will find this webinar useful.
