FREE UKSG webinar – Plan M: the road ahead

18 March 2022

Following the launch of the National Metadata Agreement between Jisc and OCLC in February 2022, this webinar will talk about current developments related to Plan M, as well as the roadmap for 2022/23 and beyond, as the current project draws to a close. The strategy for the next phase of Jisc’s work on establishing the NBK/Library Hub as core national infrastructure of a more efficient bibliographic metadata supply model will be discussed, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and find out how they can get involved in providing sector insights to Jisc’s Library Hub team, that will help inform future developments.
