Serials Standards Update Forum:

Presented by the ALA /Association for Library Collections & Technical

The Serials Standards Update Forum is an annual presentation 
covering current serials standards and the status of standards 
development in key areas of library and publisher related work. 
The forum's focus is on standards that affect library serials 
management.  This year we invite you to hear about the latest 
progress on three National Information Standards Organization 
(NISO) initiatives that are of particular interest to online 
serial formats and their licensing:
