    	<h3>January 2009</h3>
    	
    	<p>Happy New Year! Although we are just beginning 2009, I'm excited to say that we are entering the new year with a head start. In 2008 NISO and its members and partners in the information community made some significant progress in developing new standards and recommended practices as well as in incubating ideas that will lead to the launch of new initiatives this year. We are now starting to see the fruit of these past labors, with advancements being made across various projects that were begun in 2008: Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE), Institutional Identifiers (I&sup2;); the joint NISO/USKG Knowledge Base and Related Tools (KBART) project; and the revision of the DAISY standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.86, <i>Specifications for the Digital Talking Book</i>) are all progressing rapidly. In fact, we expect to announce the availability of a CORE draft standard for trial use at the end of this month! You can follow the progress of these and other NISO projects from the <a href="http://www.niso.org/workrooms/">workrooms webpage</a>.</p>
<p>In 2008, NISO held for the first time a series of Thought Leader meetings that focused on specific areas where standards development could provide assistance: institutional repositories; digital libraries and collections; e-learning and course management systems; and research data. As a result, NISO is poised to launch several new projects early this year that are direct outcomes from the recommendations from these meetings. Reports from all four meetings are available on the <a href="http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/">Thought Leaders webpage</a>. We are also working with several other partner organizations to launch research, best practice, or standards projects in the near term. Among these initiatives are: a shared research project on improving metadata, and therefore helping to reduce the costs associated with poor metadata problems; a new NISO Board of Directors <a href="#report3">Chair's Initiative</a> aimed at improving single-sign-on (SSO) authentication; and the researching of methods for improved mechanisms for depositing research in institutional repositories. We will be discussing several of NISO's current and upcoming projects at various standards-related meetings during the ALA Midwinter Conference in Denver later this month. See the <a href="#report2">Newsline article in this issue</a> and the <a href="http://www.niso.org/news/events/2009/alamid09">NISO@ ALA webpage</a> for more information. We look forward to seeing you there.</p>
<p>I am also pleased to announce that NISO will be introducing this year a new series of monthly open community teleconferences as <a href="#report5">reported below</a>. Beginning in February, these free teleconferences will provide an informal and engaging venue to discuss standards, standards-related initiatives, and community action&mdash;both those that are currently underway as well as areas where action might be needed. In addition, these teleconferences are a regular opportunity to learn about NISO's ongoing activities and other technology-related projects and a way for you to provide us with feedback so that we can truly represent our members' and the information community's needs.</p>
<p>Finally, 2009 will be packed with many informational education opportunities, both in person and online, starting with a <a href="#report1">January 14th webinar</a> looking at three current efforts in digital preservation. I hope that you will be able to attend this and our other planned events this year; topics and registration details are available on the <a href="http://www.niso.org/news/events/2009/">NISO 2009 events webpage</a>.</p>
 
<p>We will certainly have a busy year ahead of us. But we already have a strong foundation from which to start, and, with the support of NISO's members and volunteers, I know we can look forward to a 2009 full of successes.</p>

<p>With kindest regards,</p>

		<h4>Chair's Initiative on Single Sign-On Authentication Launched at February Webinar</h4>
		<p>This year NISO is introducing the NISO Chair's Initiative, a project of the chair of NISO's Board of Directors focusing on a specific issue that would benefit from study and the development of a  recommended practice or standard. Oliver Pesch (Chair, NISO Board of Directors, and Chief Strategist, EBSCO Information Services) has identified user authentication as the issue that he would like to see NISO address, specifically the question of perfecting Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication in an Imperfect World&mdash;how to achieve seamless item-level linking through single sign-on authentication technologies in a networked information environment.</p>
<p>The NISO February webinar (February 11, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. EST) is the first step in addressing the issue of SSO authentication. It is essential that we look at this issue as a community, considering how this fits into the larger landscape of use. And to do that effectively, we first need to clearly define the problem and together take ownership of it. </p>
<p>The problems caused by having to manage multiple identities on each platform for a digital resource collection have led to the development of so-called "Single Sign-On" (SSO) authentication technologies, such as Athens and Shibboleth. With these technologies, the user can access all compliant content platforms using the same identity. But SSO authentication is no easy problem. Like a puzzle, the problem of user authentication has many pieces&mdash;institutional affiliation; authentication method; various discovery and content provider platforms; the impact of crossing over and using different sources, search engines, computers, or locations... the list goes on and on. And even when we start to understand all those pieces, we are still left with the problem of putting them together&mdash;trying to make them fit in order to see the big picture and solve the puzzle.</p>
<p><i>SSO Authentication: Understanding the Pieces of the Puzzle</i> will look at how the theory behind a pure technical implementation is broken and why, so that we can then take that next step of asking, "How can we make this better?" Three speakers will address the issues from the library perspective, the content provider perspective, and the authentication tool perspective. Register today at the <a href="http://www.niso.org/news/events/2009/authentication09/">event webpage</a>  and join us in discussing how SSO Authentication can be improved.</p>

		<h4>International ISTC Agency Open for Business</h4>
		<p>Although the approved standard, ISO 21047, <i>Information and documentation &ndash; International Standard Text Code</i>, has not yet been officially published, the ISTC Agency is already open for business. Founded in 2008, The International ISTC Agency is responsible for the promotion, coordination, and supervision of the International Standard Text Code (ISTC) standard and system. A consortium made up of Bowker, Nielsen, CISAC (International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers), and IFFRO (The International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations) were appointed to manage the Agency.</p>
<p>The ISTC provides a means of uniquely and persistently identifying textual works in information systems, and facilitates the exchange of information about such works between publishers, authors and author associations, collective management organizations, libraries, search engines, and others on an international level. More information regarding the ISTC standard is available at <a href="http://www.ISTC-International.org">www.ISTC-International.org</a>, the new official web site of the International ISTC Agency.</p>
<p>ISTC registration will operate through designated registration agencies. Bowker and Nielsen Book have been authorized as the first two ISTC Registration Agencies. Both are offering pilot programs that will provide free registration of ISTCs on a semi-limited basis through May 2009. Within these programs, participants are encouraged to exchange required metadata about their works and groupings of works that are intended for ISTC assignment, for which selected portions shall be validated for ISTC assignments for free during the pilot program period. Visit the <a href="http://www.istc-international.org/index.php?ci_id=1821">ISTC Pilot Program webpage</a> for more information.</p>
<p>The International ISTC Agency encourages entities that wish to apply to become an ISTC Registration Agency to participate in the expression of interest process. Visit the <a href="http://www.istc-international.org/index.php?ci_id=1819">ISTC Registration Agencies webpage</a> for information about an agency's responsibilities and contact information.</p>
<p>The ISTC standard is part of the ISO committee, TC46, Information and documentation, SC9, Identification and description. NISO is the current Secretariat for this committee.

		<h4>Free Standards Teleconference Forums</h4>
		<p>In 2009, NISO will initiate a new forum to discuss standards initiatives and community action that is either underway or needed. On February 9, from 3:00 - 4:00 pm EST, NISO will host the first of a regular series of teleconferences to be held each month throughout 2009. The open teleconference for all interested participants will provide an opportunity for the community to provide feedback as well as to receive regular updates of NISO activities, and discuss other technology-related projects. Membership in NISO is not required, nor is there any registration for this free event. To join, call 1-877-375-2160 on February 9 at 3:00 pm EST and, when asked, enter the code: 17800743.</p>
<p>During the first call, Jeremy Frumkin, Assistant Dean / Chief Technology Strategist at the University of Arizona Libraries and the newly appointed Chair of NISO's Architecture Committee will discuss some of the ongoing work of the Architecture Committee. This is NISO's senior strategic planning committee responsible for setting strategic direction for NISO, gathering information on NISO-related work taking place in other organizations, and coordinating NISO's work plan with the Topic Committees.</p>
<p>Regular agenda items for these teleconferences will be a Director's report of current NISO activities, an update of recent actions of the Topic Committees and working groups, and a description of new projects that are under consideration or taking place in the community. The call, which will last between thirty and sixty minutes depending on the amount of participation, will end with an open discussion of any information standards or information technology related topic that the group would like to talk about.

		<h4>More Libraries and Publishers Join SERU Agreement from NISO for E-Resources<br>
		<i>Library Journal (1/5/2009) ; Hadro, Josh</i></h4>
		<p>Significant growth has been reported in the number of publishers, libraries, 
		and consortia that have registered as users of NISO's Shared E-Resource Understanding 
		(SERU). SERU is a best practices document that can be used as a non-binding mutual 
		agreement for the acquisition of electronic resources. According to the 
		<a href="http://www.niso.org/workrooms/seru/statementFAQ/">SERU FAQ</a>,
		 "it is designed to be a true alternative to a license agreement with no negotiation
		  beyond pricing or related issues." Endorsing SERU are 45 new libraries and the 
		  Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) consortium bringing the total libraries 
		  and consortia to 65. Fifteen new publishers have signed up including Springer 
		  Science+Business Media, Taylor & Francis, and White Horse Press, bringing the 
		  publisher total to 27. <i>LJ</i> Online Databases columnist Carol Tenopir has previously 
		  written about the quick development of SERU and the considerable interest it 
		  has garnered in the library and publishing communities.<br>

		<h4>'Hundreds of Titles,' 'Dozens of Publishers' &ndash; Magazines 
		Going Into Google Book Search<br>
<i> Information Today (12/18/08) ; Quint, Barbara</i></h4>
		<p>Google Book Search has expanded its content to include magazines, and 
though the company says that hundreds of titles are already available, it 
has not provided a titles list.  The articles will have a "Magazine" tag, 
which can be searched for in the Advanced Search section.  Google Book 
Search will acquire magazine articles from publisher partners involved in 
the project, instead of from library partners, with Google providing free 
digitization.  Earlier this year, Google also offered publishers free 
digitization for those that were willing to share their archives in the 
Google News Archive.  Google's Jim Gerber says that many of the publishers 
will be shipping hard copies of their magazine archives to Google, which 
will use sheet-fed scanners for the digitization.  Gerber says that all of 
the scanning done with library partners uses nondestructive scanning, so 
the sheet-fed method being used with magazines should produce 
higher-quality images, though using both types of scanning will create 
improvements for all scans, particularly in developing bibliographic data.  
"We are doing things at the back end to clean and improve bibliographic 
data, so over time we will get better bibliographic information," he says.  
Google users will be able to see full-color articles, browse through 
magazine issues, and view all issues of a magazine.  Gerber says that 
eventually all Google Book Search content will be made available through 
the main Google.com service. OCLC has expressed interest in linking the 
magazines in Google Book Search to library collections through WorldCat.

		<h4>OAI-ORE, PRESERV2 and Digital Preservation<br>
     <i> Ariadne (10/08) No. 57 ; Rumsey, Sally; O'Steen, Ben</i></h4>
		<p>OAI-ORE is a new framework for the description and sharing of 
aggregations of Web resources, and the architecture has practical use in 
digital preservation and continued access to files.  OAI-ORE is a tool 
digital content managers can employ to manage their repositories, to render 
their content more transportable and thus more usable and reusable.  
OAI-ORE can support the PRESERV2 project model of provision of preservation 
services and interoperability for digital repositories. The PRESERV 
methodology is based upon the recognition that the foundation of effective 
preservation is comprised of three basic actions on data: copy, move, and 
monitor.  Included in this is the replication and movement of data between 
different repositories, which is where OAI-ORE plays a role.  The framework 
also contributes to interoperability to guarantee that repositories and 
other tools and services can communicate and exchange data and information. 
 In this manner the project is generating and evaluating a flexible 
framework for an emerging spectrum of services and tools, to ensure support 
for long-term access to data placed in repositories.

		<h4>The Economics of Data Preservation<br>
<i> UCSD News (12/16/08) ; Zverina, Jan</i></h4>
		<p>An interim report issued by the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable 
Digital Preservation and Access highlights the urgency of the current state 
of affairs and identifies challenges to long-term, economically workable 
solutions.  A recent IDC study concluded that the volume of digital data 
started surpassing storage capacity last year, and that this trend will 
continue into the future.  The study projects that the total corpus of 
digital data will have increased tenfold over 2006's volume within three 
years.  The preservation of digital data within the public interest is 
necessary for the maintenance of a complete and accurate "digital record" 
of human society.  "The long-term accessibility and use of valuable digital 
materials require digital preservation activities that are ... provisioned 
with sufficient funding and other resources on an ongoing basis to achieve 
their long-term goals," says OCLC research scientist and taskforce co-chair 
Brian Lavoie.  The group's interim report cites systemic obstacles such as 
a shortage of funding models to accommodate long-term access and 
preservation requirements; confusion and/or a dearth of correspondence 
between stakeholders, roles, and responsibilities in relation to digital 
access and preservation; not enough institutional, enterprise, and/or 
community incentives to uphold the collaboration necessary for reinforcing 
sustainable economic models; complacency that current practices are 
adequate; and worry that digital access and preservation is too big a 
challenge to tackle.  The Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital 
Preservation and Access was launched by the National Science Foundation and 
the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in partnership with the Library of 
Congress, the Joint Information Systems Committee of the United Kingdom, 
the Council on Library and Information Resources, and the National Archives 
and Records Administration.<BR>

		<h4>Information Architecture for Digital Libraries<br>
<i> First Monday (12/08) Vol. 13, No. 12 ; Simon, Scott J.</i></h4>
		<p>The libraries of the 21st century will be Web-based, but the 
technologies, standards, and architecture that future digital libraries 
will use are still being defined, writes University of South Florida 
information scientist Scott Simon.  As defined by the Association of 
Research Libraries, digital libraries require multiple resources; 
transparent connections between the numerous digital libraries and 
information services; universal access to digital libraries and information 
services; and the inclusion of digital artifacts that cannot be represented 
or distributed in printed formats.  There is a difference between a digital 
library that offers digital content exclusively and one that offers both 
digital and physical content.  Information architecture is a deep-seated 
element in the design and development of digital libraries, and the 
framework of a digital library is constructed through the integration of 
functional, technical, and landscape architectures.  Defining and 
documenting those structures is the chief responsibility of the information 
architect, and among the common characteristics of digital libraries is the 
provision of user needs.  User needs determine the spectrum of services 
that the architecture is designed to deliver, and these services are 
subsequently enabled by standards.  Standards facilitate communication 
between components and effect interoperability, and a great deal of 
architecture boasts several interdependent layers of standards that come 
together to support specialized functionality.  Scalability of 
architectural elements is enabled by standards to satisfy increasing 
demand, and the standards also enable extensibility.  Therefore, a core 
architecture can support many design changes and enhancements that would be 
impossible otherwise.
