Information Community News
With just two months to go until the next NISO Plus conference (February 15-17, 2022), we are delighted to invite you to check out the preliminary program — and to register at the early bird rate! Available through January 7, 2022, it provides even larger discounts for NISO members; groups of five and more; students/early career/unemployed information professionals; and those in countries outside of the IMF’s top 30.
You can view the full program here, but here’s a taste of what you can look forward to:
-
40 75-minute sessions — a mix of recorded presentations and live conversation — all focused on identifying concrete ways that NISO can help address key issues of concern to the information community
-
100+ speakers from every region of the world, sharing their expertise on topics ranging from accessibility to open science, ethics to usage data, and archiving to semantics
-
Keynotes by four eminent speakers — Dariusz Jemielniak, Katharina Ruckstuhl, Siva Vaidhyanathan, and our 2022 Miles Conrad Awardee (to be announced later this week)
-
Opportunities to engage with your peers and colleagues from across the information community — librarians, content providers, service providers, and more — including two fun virtual social events
-
Programming across multiple time zones, with recordings available before, during, and after the conference, to enable the widest possible participation — synchronous and asynchronous
-
Intuitive, simple-to-use online platform — create your own custom schedule, integrate it with your calendar, and log into the sessions you want to attend quickly and easily
NISO Plus 2021 was a great success and NISO Plus 2022 promises to be even better, so please join us there. Don’t forget to register by January 7 to take advantage of the early bird rate and, in the meantime, the NISO staff wishes you all the very best for the holiday season and the new year!
