NISO Launches New Project to Develop Recommended Practice for Tracking Link Origins

NISO voting members have approved a new project: the development of a Recommended Practice for Tracking Link Origins in a Networked Information Environment. As libraries strive to improve the ways in which users access their collections, gaining a definitive understanding of where a user began his or her library search before ultimately arriving at library-licensed content is an important factor for library staff in determining the value of a platform and how to allocate resources. Anyone interested in participating on this working group should contact NISO at nisohq@niso.org.
