<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On Friday,
March 15, 2013 NFAIS will hold a workshop on <i>Information Discovery and the
Future Role of Abstracting and Indexing Services </i>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. The
agenda can be accessed at: <a
