Assessment Practices and Metrics for the 21st Century: A 2019 NISO Training Series, Session Six, December 6, 2019: Demystifying Resource Sharing

NISO runs two, eight-week online training series each year, typically designed to provide early to mid-career information professionals with guidance on specific aspects of their roles, which they can then put into practice in their day-to-day work. Each session is recorded, shared immediately with participants, and made openly available after two years.
