NISO Standards Committee AX has just released the trial implementation version of the OpenURL. This standard enables context sensitive linking. Tools built on the OpenURL offer a unified interface to the diverse collections that a library hosts locally or has rights to externally. This one-day meeting is organized by the Center for Scholarly Communication at the Palmer School of Library and Information Science of Long Island University and by NISO. Its aim is to introduce the library and publishing communities to the path-breaking concepts at the heart of the OpenURL and show you the tools that are facilitating a host of new library services and will undoubtedly lead to new business opportunities. This is your chance to learn from the visionary pioneers behind this technology. WHEN: Tuesday, May 13 WHERE: METRO; 57 East 11th St, New York, NY 10003 COST: $99 Register today and save your spot!
