NISO serves the largest audience possible in an economical way by offering a full schedule of webinars, virtual conferences, and open teleconferences. We have tremendous success with these programs as they allow library and information professionals to interact with world-renowned experts without leaving their desks, and to learn about and discuss diverse topics such as preservation, ebooks, licensing, and more.
NISO is offering an opportunity for your organization to reach this large and diverse audience in the library, publishing, and information systems and services community through partnering with one or more events.
