Rachel Comerford (Macmillan Learning) & Simon Holt (@elsevierconnect.bsky.social) will cover the information community's progress toward making content accessible for all. Free for NISO members: niso.org/events/deep-...
Headline: Information Industry Awareness. Three stories arranged in columns. 1) (with image of smiling man with beard) Infrastructure Doesn't Run on Good Wishes and Grants. Maintaining the structures—and information standards—that support interoperability requires time, effort, and money. 2) (with image of hands at a keyboard) The Research Platform Has a New Job. What is the platform's role in a "zero-click" world? Silverchair's Scott Bouchard offers some thoughts and looks for an honest path forward. 3)(with Transer logo) NISO Publishes Revision of the Transfer Code of Practice (Version 5.0). The revision addresses community needs around the transfer of open access titles and refines language to provide more clarity to readers.
The latest issue of NISO I/O is now available!
