REGISTRATION CLOSING SOON FOR THE NFAIS WORKSHOP:  INFORMATION DISCOVERY AND
THE FUTURE ROLE OF ABSTRACTING AND INDEXING SERVICES  

 

 

Registration will close at noon on Thursday, March 14th for the NFAIS
Workshop, Information Discovery and the Future Role of Abstracting and
Indexing Services. The workshop is scheduled to take place on Friday, March
15th from 9:00am -  4:45pm EST in Philadelphia, PA.  Virtual registrations
are available. 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. The agenda can
be accessed at:
