   NISO is undertaking a substantive review of our publications portfolio to
   determine our best focus and attention in the future. To help us fully
   understand  the  broader impacts of the various standards, recommended
   practices, technical reports, white papers and other documents that NISO has
   published,  we want include as much community input to this process as
   possible.

   All  community  members are invited to participate in our publications
   portfolio survey at [4]https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/niso-portfolio.  The
   survey will be open through November 20.

   NISO publishes several types of documents:

     * Standards: The most formal, "fixed" documents that NISO publishes,
       providing rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their
       results. ANSI/NISO standards are approved by the American National
       Standards  Institute and represent the highest form of stakeholder
       consensus.
     * Recommended Practices: "best practices" or "guidelines" for methods,
       materials, or practices in order to give guidance to the user. These
       documents usually represent a leading edge, exceptional model, or a
       proven industry practice.
     * Technical Reports: provide useful information about a particular topic,
       but do not make specific recommendations about practices to follow. They
       are thus "descriptive" rather than "prescriptive" in nature.
     * White Papers, Primers, etc.: contributed or solicited papers whose
       purpose  is a call for action, a position paper, or an educational
       treatise on a specific issue.

   Your input to this survey, which will solicit your knowledge and attitudes
   about our varied publications, sorted by type, would be gratefully received.
   More than one representative from an organization may fill it out, as we
   recognize  that  there may be various perspectives represented, and we
   appreciate these! We anticipate that it will take 20-25 minutes to fill out
   the survey. You may pause the survey and come back to it at a later time, if
   you are using the same computer and browser.

   Thank  you  for  your help. Please feel free to email any questions to
