  Committee - Standards Update Forum/Pie-J & SERU

-Please excuse cross-posting -

The Continuing Resources Section Standards Update Forum presents 
news on developments affecting continuing resources management at 
American Library Association conferences. At Annual 2011, the 
forum is scheduled for 10:30am-12:00pm on Sunday, June 26, 2011 
at the New Orleans Marriott-Studio 7.  It will feature reports 
from the NISO SERU Working Group and the PIE-J Working Group, as 
well as a panel discussion on how the standards process works.

Judy Luther of Informed Strategies, co-chair of the NISO SERU 
Working Group, will speak about SERU and its progress.  A 
revision of SERU (Shared Electronic Resources Understanding) is 
under development to address e-resources other than journals. 
The new draft has gone out for preliminary comment.  Judy will 
speak to the intent of the revision and will address questions 
about SERU and its use.

The PIE-J (Presentation and Identification of E-Journals) Working 
Group seeks to develop a recommended practice that will provide 
guidance on the presentation and identification of e-journals, 
particularly in the areas of title presentation and bibliographic 
history, accurate use of the ISSN, and citation practice, in 
order to assist publishers, platform providers, abstracting and 
indexing services, knowledgebase providers, aggregators, and 
other concerned parties in facilitating online discovery, 
identification, and access to publications.  Steven Shadle, 
Serials Access Librarian at the University of
Washington Libraries and a member of the Pie-J Working Group will 
provide an update.
