Carpenter "An Update of NISO’s Activities"
NISO had a busy and successful year in 2008. They moved offices, increased staff size, launched a new topic committee structure, and held numerous educational programs. NISO completed 5 standards projects and initiated 4 more, with several others under consideration. Standards released included RFID, SERU, JAV, NCIP v2.0, SRN and ONIX for Serials. New projects launched were CORE, I2, KBART and an expansion of LEWG. NISO also continued work on their website, ISQ, and Newsline. They took on new ISO responsibilities and held thought leader meetings supported by the Mellon Foundation.
