Last Chance to Register for NISO Plus 2022!

We’re counting the days till this year’s NISO Plus conference (February 15-17) and, if you haven’t already done so, there’s still time to register. Thanks to our generous sponsors, we’ve been able to keep registration costs low for everyone, with extra discounts for NISO members; groups of five or more; students, early career, and unemployed professionals; and those who live outside the top 30 International Monetary Fund GDP countries. 

Please check out the program — there’s something for everyone: content providers, librarians, service and infrastructure providers, including:

• Keynotes by three respected academics — Dariusz Jemielniak on Collaborative Society Needs Institutional Support; Katharina Ruckstuhl on Pluriversal Approaches to Research Infrastructure, and Siva Vaidhyanathan on Welcome to the Metaverse…,
• The 2022 Miles Conrad Lecture, by Dr. Patricia Flatley Brennan, Director of the US National Library of Medicine
• Expert speakers from around the world and across all our stakeholder groups — content providers, librarians, and vendors — on a variety of timely topics for the information community including:
  • Stacy Allison-Cassin (University of Toronto) on Indigenous Knowledge, Standards, and Knowledge Management
  • Roger Schonfeld (ITHAKA) on Attributes of Sustainability
  • Harini Calamur (Cactus Communications) on Multilingualism in Scholarly Communications
  • Vint Cerf (Google) and Frode Hegland (Future of Text) on Visual-Meta: Adding Rich Metadata to Documents 
  • Sören Hofmayer (ResearchGate) on Building Services Around Open Discovery
  • Cameron Neylon (Curtin University) on Alternative Forms of Research Assessment and Impact
  • Joy Owango (AfricArXiv) on Indigenous Knowledge, Standards, and Knowledge Management
  • Kaitlin Thaney (Invest in Open Infrastructure) on The Importance of Investment in Open Research Infrastructure
  • Jane Winter (University of London) on Archiving and Preservation of Unusual Born-Digital Objects
  • And many more!

Unlike most conferences, at NISO Plus the emphasis is on conversations and connections. What the speakers share in their presentations and what you have to say in the discussions following the live screenings are both equally important — and both are focused on identifying concrete needs and projects that NISO can work with the community to address. Last year’s conference resulted in three new initiatives, all of which are now well underway: Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CORREC) Recommended Practice; Controlled DIgital Lending; and Integrating Publisher and Repository Workflows to Improve Research Data-Article Links. We’ll be reporting back on these during NISO Plus too!
