Monthly webinar — free for NISO members
Wednesday, October 12, 11.00am - 12.30pm Eastern Time (US/Canada)
From issues of authentication to the threats posed by ransomware, all organizations must prioritize protections for digital identities and assets. Libraries, funding agencies, content and platform providers, and end users are largely aware of the dangers, but hesitate over the potential inconvenience and hidden costs of addressing them. What can be done? This roundtable discussion will provide insights and encouragement. Confirmed speakers are: David Batho, Jisc; Robb Burgess, Silverchair; Skott Klebe, EBSCO Information Services; and Amy Pawlowski, OHIOLink.
Register here (includes unlimited attendees from your organization) — free for NISO members; recording will be shared with all registered attendees

Join NISO Open Discovery Initiative Steering Committee library representatives for a free one-hour workshop to learn more about ODI (Open Discovery Initiative) and library conformance, get tips on how to approach each area of conformance, and use a provided worksheet to create an action plan for next steps in preparing and publishing your institution’s conformance statement. Confirmed speakers are: Teresa Hazen, University of Arizona; Laura Morse, Harvard University; Geoff Morse, Northwestern University; and Ken Varnum, University of Michigan.
Register here for free — joining instructions will be provided a few days before the event
Virtual conference — discount for NISO members
Building an Equitable Global Research Community
Wednesday, October 26, 12.00 - 4.00pm Eastern Time (US/Canada)
Irrespective of discipline, it’s essential that the high-quality research being undertaken everywhere is brought to the fore. How can we better ensure that the important work being done in less visible locations or facilities is more discoverable and properly recognized? How can we best leverage the value of preprint services? What additional networks or platforms are needed? The speakers in this virtual conference will offer plenty of food for creative thought in terms of innovation — though they may have more questions than answers! Speakers to be confirmed.
Register here (includes unlimited attendees from your organization) — discount for NISO members; recording will be shared with all registered attendees

Best wishes
