NISO Working Group Connections, Live!: Project Transfer for Librarians: Making Your Life Easier When Titles Change Hands
NISO Working Group Connections, Live!
May 2016
Friday, May 20 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM, EST
What is the Transfer Code of Practice? Why was it developed? How does it benefit librarians?
Often referred to as Transfer, this code offers consistent guidelines to aid publishers and librarians when a journal title transfers from one publisher to another. It is maintained by a group of librarians, publishers, subscription agencies, and other intermediaries, from both the United Kingdom and the United States. Transfer originated with the United Kingdom Serials Group (UKSG) but was moved under the auspices of NISO in the past year.
It's not just for publishers! Many librarians are unaware of the Transfer tools and how they might be of use to them. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of the code, its history and purpose, results of a recent survey on awareness of the code, and a discussion of how librarians can incorporate Transfer tools into their existing e-journals workflow.
Featured speakers areElizabeth Winter, Head, Collection Acquisitions & Management, Georgia Tech Library and Information Center, Georgia Institute of Technology; andJennifer Bazeley, Interim Head, Technical Services, King Library, Miami University, OH.
