CONFERENCES, MEETINGS & WEBINARS

Building Support for Non-Traditional Scholarly Outputs – NISO Monthly webinar — free for NISO members
Wednesday, August 17, 11.00am – 12.30pm Eastern Daylight Time (US/Canada)
Following on from the previous webinar, this event will expand the discussion into the realm of non-traditional outputs. Video, audio, and data visualization are already increasingly common output formats, and those working in the arts and practice-based research require support for a host of other outputs, including images, performances, and more. What does this all mean for our research infrastructure? For editorial or content management systems? For discovery tools? For content platforms? We’re assembling a group of expert speakers (details to follow) for a round table discussion on this important and challenging topic.
