Baltimore, MD -- June 18, 2009 -- The membership of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has elected new leadership for the 2009-2010 term that begins on July 1, 2009. Janice Fleming has been elected to serve as Vice Chair of the NISO Board of Directors. She will transition into the chairmanship in the 2010-11 term. Currently, Fleming serves as Director of Business and Planning, PsycINFO at the American Psychological Association. Fleming has been active in publishing and the indexing & abstracting communities for many years and currently serves as a member of NISO's Board of Directors. Chuck Koscher, Director of Technology at CrossRef, who was elected last year and has served as Vice Chair during the current term, will become Chair of NISO for the 2009-10 term.
