NISO November Virtual Conference: Can't We All Work Together?
Interoperability & Systems Integration

Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in webinar-like
formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The longer
length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the
convenience of a webinar.

Date: November 19, 2014

Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern

ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Library systems have typically operated either in silos within their own
institutions or have integrated only with other libraries' systems. Even the
standards used by these systems have been library-specific. Today's
networked environment, powered by the growing use of linked data, makes
structured information accessible and discoverable via the Web and makes
these traditional silos outmoded. Opportunities abound for libraries to make
their data more accessible beyond their own walls as well as to utilize
others' data and systems to offer new services.

This virtual conference will survey some of the ways libraries have
integrated their data and systems beyond the library walls and will explore
some new projects and tools that offer ideas for the near future of
interoperability.
