Make Plans Now to Attend the 2013 NFAIS Annual Humanities Roundtable 
 
One of the few information industry events that focuses primarily on the concerns of content providers and information professionals working in the broad spectrum of the humanities, this is the time to register for the forthcoming 2013 NFAIS Annual Humanities Roundtable. Program details, registration rates, and hotel information may be accessed on the NFAIS web site at: [http://nfais.org/event?eventID=527] http://nfais.org/event?eventID=527.
 
This one-day workshop will be held in Chicago,Illinois, on Monday, September 30, 2013. Sponsors include the American Theological Library Association, the Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation, the Modern Language Association, the law firm of Quarles & Brady and the Philosopher’s Information Center.
 
Today’s rapidly shifting digital information environment offers plenty of opportunity to both content providers and information professionals for adding value to their services and demonstrating the great return on investment that those services provide to the student, scholar, and professional. This year’s Roundtable offers a chance to learn from active leaders in the field about projects in the digital humanities, content enrichment and linked data, assessing usage and user behavior and much, much more. Of particular interest this year, we’re thrilled to be featuring legal experts discussing the long-term significance of recent court rulings that may be impacting practices of both content providers and libraries!
