==================================================================
What's Covered:
Information services are essential in everyday decision-making, and the growing demand to create new relationships among linked data sources and formats has raised expectations for improved discoverability and accessibility. While content may still be king, the user experience is definitely the primary driver, which is why you can't afford to miss the 2015 NFAIS annual conference!

In this current environment, we need to work together within the information community to create amazing discoveries and ensure a smoother, on-going workflow for the scholar or information professional, regardless of whether he or she is in the laboratory, the library, or the field.  The concentration must be on supporting more serviceable forms of digital content on multiple devices with robust computing technologies running beneath the hood.  And that's a lot to consider!

In the context of new modes of scholarship, NFAIS member organizations are focusing on how best to bring together the appropriate elements of software, content, and human capital to drive user engagement. This is where the rubber meets the road.  As new technologies pave the way for serendipitous discoveries, the information community is engineering resources and services that anticipate the future needs of researchers and scholars around the world.  Join us for an exciting, collaborative conference and navigate a clear route to more effectively engage your organization's users.  Come learn how!
