Demystifying Library Standards: A NISO/ALCTS Webinar
Held June 18, 2008 1-2:30 pm (EDT), this webinar on standards in the library environment placed standards in context. Speakers addressed why standards are important to libraries and not just in the traditional technical services areas. As libraries change and evolve in an increasingly digital world, standards change also. Standards are critical to developments in such areas as e‑resources, user access, description and metadata, licensing, and preservation. Some specific standards, both published and forthcoming, were touched on as examples and as lead-in to the other webinars in the series. Participants learned how they can become actively involved in standards development. Of interest to those who want to learn how standards can provide benefits to their organization, their users, and to themselves. presentation materials | more information (goes to NISO web site)
