We here at NISO are working busily in the background (along with our amazing planning committee), sorting through dozens and dozens of proposed topics for sessions and panels at NISO Plus 2022, and wanted to give you just a taste of the sessions that are starting to come together. Lots more info over the next few weeks, including another Keynote announcement (joining Dr. Siva Vaidhyanathan).
