Early Bird Registration Extended to November 21st for the NFAIS Workshop:

Due to the impact of the recent storm on many workplaces, the early bird
registration for the forthcoming NFAIS workshop, Indexing and Indices: An
Essential Component of Information Discovery, has been extended until
November 21, 2012.  This is the first of two workshops on Information
Discovery that will be held at the Hub Cira Centre in Philadelphia, PA.
Both onsite and virtual registrations are available. Register for both and
receive a 15% discount!

 

 On November 30th we will focus on the approaches to indexing that are
currently in use, including the indexing of non-traditional content and
automated indexing. The pros and cons of each and possible changes for the
future will be discussed. Highlights include:

 

.         An overview of indexing approaches

.         Indexing from the publisher's perspective

.         Indexing from the .librarian's perspective

.         Automated Indexing - case studies

.         Managing Vocabularies

.         Indexing of non-traditional content

.         Improving information discovery - a conversation with librarians

 

 (see final agenda

The second workshop, Future Role of Abstracting and Indexing Services, is
scheduled for Friday, March 15, 2013, and will look at the evolution of
abstracting and indexing services, the challenges offered by the current
information environment, and how these services need to adapt to remain
relevant to future generations of librarians, scholars and researchers (see
agenda at:
http://nfais.brightegg.com/page/379-the-future-of-abstracting-and-indexing-m
arch-2013).

workshops and receive a 15% discount.  In addition, special discounts are
