You still have time to register for next week’s NISO Virtual Conference. The conference will take place on\u00a0Wednesday, May 17<\/strong>, from\u00a010:00 AM to 4:00 PM CST<\/strong>. The theme, “Convergence: The Web and Publishing Onto the Web”, will cover what it could mean for your organization, should book production shift from XML to HTML. More information about the Conference’s content is below.<\/p>\n

The Web, as a publishing medium, is increasingly important. We live in an age when a publication or an app may not be a self-contained object or artifact, but rather a combination of browser functionality and HTML-formatted content. On the one hand, this enables providers to offer a more interactive and engaging reading experience than is possible with a static page. On the other hand, there are challenges in delivering that experience. Some genres (poetry, mathematics, etc.) have highly specific requirements for placement, expression, and rendering. How will content providers deliver material in those genres to the reader? What are the workflow considerations for production? For libraries–both those with publishing responsibilities as well as those with collection or archiving responsibilities–what new complexities are introduced for long-term preservation? For support of different devices? This six-hour virtual conference will examine next steps in moving beyond what we think of as the “printed page”.<\/p>\n
