Each year the NISO Education Program offers thought provoking insights, invigorating discussions, and helpful case studies for information professionals. These program events are intended to enrich our community and improve our practices. Constructed with the assistance of the Education Committee, the 2024 education schedule promises more knowledge, expertise, instruction, and examples from which audience members can draw inspiration and learn from peers.
NISO members benefit from the monthly webinars which explore an array of topics that address the ever-evolving landscape of information management, technology, and standards.
Here is a sneak peek at the topics for the upcoming year:
- Author Rights

Additional programs are conceived and executed to delve deeper into thought leadership opportunity and training. The NISO team and Education Committee are using this moment, post-Covid and with audience feedback, to consider what is most meaningful and purposeful to offer the community by way of virtual conferences and training series. By harnessing AI-driven prompt design, libraries and publisher constituencies alike can provide tailored recommendations, improving content accessibility and drive user satisfaction to create a more dynamic and efficient information ecosystem. With that in mind, the Spring Training Series will focus on the very practical concern of AI & Prompt Design.
