*Wednesday, October 18: *Strategic Directions: Strategic Thinking - Five
Years Ahead <http://www.niso.org/news/events/2017/webinars/oct18_webinar/>
(NISO
Webinar)



This webinar will be driven by discussion of five significant trends (as
identified by the global community of libraries) and their long-term
ramifications. How are emerging technologies re-shaping existing legal
protections and what does that reshaping mean for users and providers of
digital content in a networked world? Can we rely on online education
technologies to produce a more highly educated workforce? Will the networks
of information and communication technologies enable collaboration as
anticipated? How much personal data ought a provider to expect in exchange
for content access? How far does the right to privacy extend? Information
and communication technologies (ICT) are having an impact on human
interactions and transactions. How will those transactions look in 2022?

*Wednesday, November 1 and Wednesday, November 15: Engineering Access Under
the Hood **(NISO Two-Part Webinar)*



The first half of this two-part webinar program (scheduled for November 1)
will provide an overview of the current landscape of options available to
academic institutions for ensuring and streamlining access to materials by
legitimate users. What’s working, which technological approaches may be
outdated, and what needs to be done (research, technology upgrades, etc.)
to resolve related problems?



The second half of this webinar (scheduled for November 15) will provide an
overview of the issues associated with delivering quality metadata by and
to various stakeholders. Based on comments heard at conferences and in
meetings, it’s an old issue. But what are the existing barriers to
delivering reliable metadata? What improvements might be made in the
process? What stands in the way of successful implementation?
