will close at noon on Thursday, March 14<sup>th</sup> for the NFAIS Workshop, <i>Information
Discovery and the Future Role of Abstracting and Indexing Services. </i>The
workshop is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 15<sup>th</sup> 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: <a
