NISO Webinar, Workflows across Systems - Innovation

Building interoperability into our systems requires partnering and collaboration — working together across stakeholder groups to develop useful approaches. What are the best ways to innovate? Are there better ways of exchanging data and information? What’s required to build those? How can partners work together to engineer systems that operate with integrity and protect data privacy? How can we avoid duplication of efforts across a community as broad as ours? This webinar looked at the possibilities for innovations in interoperability between both internal and externally-facing information systems, identifying both the challenges and also the opportunities for creative solutions and new priorities. Confirmed participants in this Roundtable include: Scott Bernier, Senior Vice President, Marketing, EBSCO; Peter Murray, Open Source Community Advocate, Index Data; Rachel Vacek, Head of Design and Discovery, University of Michigan; Janetta Waterhouse, Director of Technical Services and Library Systems. University Libraries, University at Albany, State University of New York; and Josh Weisman, Vice President, Development, ExLibris.
