NISO Webinar, Content Presentation - Diversity of Formats

How content is presented is critical to how frequently it gets used and understood. Technology has made a wider variety of content formats possible -- data, text, video, audio — but presentation can be equally important in the more traditional formats, such as books and journals. How content is presented, emphasizing different affordances for different types of use, requires thoughtful design choices. For content providers, scalability is one major challenge. Meanwhile those charged with preservation and future use must determine how best to migrate and house different formats, and everyone is concerned about making all formats readily searchable and discoverable. The speakers on this webinar shared their experiences of wrestling with the issues from a variety of perspectives. Confirmed speakers for this educational event include Emma Molls, Publishing Librarian, University of Minnesota Press; Hannah Heckner, Product Strategist, Silverchair, and David Kuilman, Director, Content Standards and Processes, Elsevier.
