Open Teleconference on ODI: It's on for October

Join Us!

The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) Standing Committee co-chairs Ken Varnum and Rachel Kessler will be joining Keondra Bailey on Monday, October 21, 2024 for a live conversation! They’ll be discussing the committee’s current work, including the new "Demystifying Discovery" video series.

You'll also hear details of a survey recently launched by the ODI Standing Committee.  They're interested in understanding just how the community of discovery providers, content providers, and libraries are thinking about artificial intelligence (AI). How will generative AI influence or impact web-scale library discovery? It's a tantalizing option.

This teleconference, scheduled for 3pm, October 21, is open to all those interested. See our NISO event page for specific details on how to join! 

The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) aims at defining standards and/or best practices for the new generation of library discovery services that are based on indexed search. These discovery services are primarily based upon indexes derived from journals, ebooks and other electronic information of a scholarly nature. The content comes from a range of information providers and products--commercial, open access, institutional, etc.

Given the growing interest and activity in the interactions between information providers and discovery services, a more standard set of practices is required for the ways that content is represented in discovery services and for the interactions between the creators of these services and the information providers whose resources they represent.
