Good morning, Bibliographic Roadmap Community:
As you should be aware, NISO will be hosting an in-person meeting in Baltimore on April 15-16 to engage the public conversation on the development of the Bibliographic Roadmap. We sent out a notice about this date a few weeks ago. This un-conference-style gathering will be used to elicit and prioritize themes for greater discussion over the coming months. The meeting will be held at the Tremont Grand Hotel (Tremont Suites Hotel, 222 St Paul St Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 727-2222) in downtown Baltimore. It will be a free and open meeting, although space is limited to only 75 attendees. A live stream will be broadcast, as well as forums for engaging and gathering input from virtual participants. Logistic details as well as details on how to participate virtually will be posted to this list as well as the NISO page for this project: http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/BibliographicRoadmap/
Prior to the meeting a discussion paper will be circulated, which will be developed on a wiki or open document. Again, details on how to contribute to that document will be posted to this list (and others).
Please RSVP to the event using the in-person event survey.
In addition, many of you have requested that NISO host a meeting at the ALA Annual conference in late June. We have also put in a room request to the American Library Association to host a meeting of interested parties to continue the conversation related to the project during ALA's Annual conference in Chicago. We have requested a meeting room on Monday, July 1 in the afternoon. Once that date/time is set by ALA, we will post information about it here and distribute it publicly through various channels.
With kindest regards,
Todd
