Editor's Notes

  • #2 Greetings Standards Fans. - I’m here on behalf of Committee Co-Chairs Jennifer Bazeley (Miami University of Ohio) and James Phillpotts (Oxford University Press) - I’m delighted to be here with the NISO team and other standards enthusiasts to give an update - and provide general cheerleading for Transfer, a very practical and useful NISO Recommended Code of Practice
  • #7 This is a snippet of the table of contents of the Transfer Code of Practice. Everything a publisher needs to know, whether you are transferring out or receiving content from another publisher: - handling digital content - title access - perpetual access - online authoring system - usage statistics - DOI's - ISSN
  • #9 I’d like to give a special notice of appreciation to those publishers who have agreed to abide by the Transfer Code of Practice. If a journal publisher here has not signed up, that means you have successfully dodged the badgering of committee members Stop avoiding us and sign up! You will have guidance in smoothly transferring your journal publications from one publisher to another in a way that fulfills your contractual obligations and makes your librarian customers and their library users happy We recruited quite a few new publishers this year!
  • #13 Here is an example of one of the results from that search. - Who is the receiving publisher - Who is the transferring publisher - What is the journal title, society, issn, doi, and frequency - What is the effective date - Which publisher is handling perpetual access
  • #16 The Co-Chairs, Jennifer Bazeley from the Librarian camp and James Philpotts from the publisher side, are the key contacts for the committee and its three subgroups (Librarian, Publisher and Society). I am a relatively new member of the Librarian subgroup, but contact me, and if I can't answer your questions or point you in the right direction, I will find someone more well versed to provide assistance.
  • #17 Here is the list of collaborative international people working to make Transfer successful for all of the interested parties, like you. Thank You to those of you here for all of your time and effort!
  • #18 Thanks for listening Questions? I’m sorry I’m probably not the best person to answer any deep questions, but I’m happy to get back to you with more information if I’m over my head.
