EMEA Keynote Dr_ Dariusz Jemielniak-NISO Plus

The growing collaborative society shows that crowdsourced knowledge dissemination is possible at professional level. However, we need institutional support from the governments and universities if we are to bury the hatchet between the professoriate and the crowd. Only involving both, together with NGOs and corporations, will bring this new phenomenon to its full potential.

The NISO Plus conference brings people together from across the global information community to share updates and participate in conversations about our shared challenges and opportunities. The focus is on identifying concrete next steps to improve information flow and interoperability, and help solve existing and potential future problems. Please join us to help address the key issues facing our community of librarians, publishers, researchers, and more — today and tomorrow!
