NISO's Training Thursday
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/training_thursday/> sessions serve as
follow-up assistance in developing specific skills.

Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO, stresses that education is a core
element of NISO's central mission. "Whether employed by academic
institution or private enterprise, information professionals seek to be
well-informed and well-equipped in supporting research activities within
their organizations" he stated. "The intent of NISO programs is to
encourage those professionals in best practices and standards-based
deployment of serious solutions."

For those interested in maximizing their training dollars, subscription
options are available. For webinars, NISO members may sign up for the Buy
9, Get 5 Free <http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/#packages>
package, and ensure access to all 14 of the NISO webinars. Alternatively,
members may opt for the Buy 5, Get 4 Free
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/#packages> package, and
choose nine webinars from the 2016 line up. Organizations pay a single fee
to enable viewing access for multiple team members in a collaborative group
setting. (Note that webinar registration is priced per site, through use of
