[nfais-l] Workshop - future role of A&I services

[Bonnie Lawlor]

NFAIS WORKSHOP:  INFORMATION DISCOVERY AND THE FUTURE ROLE OF ABSTRACTING
AND INDEXING SERVICES

 

 

On Friday, March 15, 2013 NFAIS will hold a workshop on Information
Discovery and the Future Role of Abstracting and Indexing Services from
9:00am -  4:45pm EST in Philadelphia, PA. This workshop will provide an
overview of the history and current status of today's Abstracting & Indexing
Services (A&I's) and the challenges that they face to remain relevant in a
rapidly changing information environment. Librarians will discuss how well
these services meet the needs of their users and will offer insights as to
how the role of A&I's may change as libraries - and their own services -
continue to evolve. The workshop will also look at the new competitors who
are emerging and what unfilled needs they are attempting to address. A&I
providers will offer their perspective on the current environment and will
discuss what initiatives they are planning to keep pace with change.  And
the meeting will close with a look at the future of information discovery
and the role that both new and traditional information providers may play.
