Tweet Rachel Kessler, Product Manager, PQIS ODI, the NISO Open Discovery Initiative, is the industry’s forum to promote transparency and content neutrality in library discovery.

While libraries are concerned with making sure that their users have […]

The world was a very different place 21 years ago when DPD came into force. Bill Clinton was President, Toy Story was […]

Tweet Dani Guzman, Ex Libris We hope you enjoyed your summer break (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway). Now, with the start of the academic year, is the time to look at what academic libraries have to offer today. This includes examining how they might improve their services and overall visitor experience. A few insightful, forward-looking articles published recently address how current rapid digital developments can, and should, be leveraged for academic research and […]
