From niso-announce at niso.org Fri May 22 11:44:59 2015 From: niso-announce at niso.org (NISO Announce) Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 11:44:59 -0400 Subject: [SigLT-L] June 10 NISO Webinar: Taking Your Website Wherever You Go Message-ID: *NISO Webinar: **Taking Your Website Wherever You Go: * *Delivering Great User Experience across Multiple Form Factors* *Date: *June 10, 2015 *Time: *1:00 ? 2:30 p.m. Eastern time *Event webpage:* *http://www.niso.org/news/events/2015/webinars/responsive/* *About the Webinar* The increased utilization of mobile devices for content consumption places demands on publishers to be more adept at engaging on mobile devices. As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content. One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted. Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to ?pair? devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise. In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with server side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users. Topics and speakers are: ? *RESS*: *Responsive Web Design + Server Side Components - **Marty Picco*, Vice President of Product Management, Atypon ? *Providing Information across Multiple Devices to the Public Health Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities - Hathy Simpson*, MPH, Public Health Information Specialist, Project Coordinator, Public Health Partners Website Project, National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region (NN/LM NER), University of Massachusetts Medical School and *Lisa Sedlar*, Librarian, National Information Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR), National Library of Medicine ? *User Experience (UX) and User Centered Design -* *Bobby Foster*, Director of User Experience & Design, Health Learning, Research & Practice, Wolters Kluwer *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on May 13.

With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative, intelligent and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as big data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end.

The longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the convenience of a webinar. *Date:* June 17, 2015 *Time: *11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern *Event webpage: * *http://www.niso.org/news/events/2015/virtual_conferences/eternal_ebooks/ * *ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE* >From scholarly monographs to textbooks, the range of e-book formats and use cases is rapidly expanding. Libraries are on the front lines of this issue, actively evolving their approach to offering e-books to meet patron needs and expectations. This virtual conference, *The Eternal To-Do List: Making E-books Work in Libraries*, will probe the key issues surrounding e-books from a variety of library, technology, and end-user viewpoints and share experiences of how some libraries have met these challenges. Participate in the community discussion for advancing e-book distribution and understanding their use, as speakers examine issues such as: ? How the four stakeholder communities?librarians, publishers, suppliers, faculty and students?are affected by e-book acquisition, usage, and technology changes ? E-book business models, including various demand driven acquisition (DDA) options, and the impact on collection development, consortial selection ? Evolving standards and best practices for e-book management ? Assessment and gauging the value of e-books through benchmarking and case studies ? The reactions, engagement, and usage trends from student feedback on e-books ? How e-textbooks are challenging libraries ? Creating e-book library ?wish lists? *TOPICS AND SPEAKERS* - *Keynote Address: **E-Books: Promise into Practice* *Suzanne M.
