The document discusses various book industry identifiers like ISBN, ISTC, and ISNI. It provides a brief history and overview of each identifier, explaining what problems they aim to solve for different stakeholders in the book supply chain. The future of identifiers is also addressed, noting the growing importance of linking all manifestations of a work across formats and publishers. Implementation challenges are also acknowledged, as widespread adoption requires persuading industries of identifiers' real benefits.

TITLE: Customized Content Platforms for the New Learning Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION: During this presentation, a late substitution for Clancy Marshall’s session, Dean Florez will focus on how students can participate in their own learning ecosystem through disruptive technologies on customized Web 2.0 platforms. Dean will discuss the need for student-centric learning models built on shared knowledge and assessment tools delivered by instructors through “MeshBook,” a new initiative currently funded by The 20 Million Minds Foundation (20MM). He will further discuss the need for merging of both commercial and open resource material, future university content farms, non-proprietary shared “mesh” networks, crowd-sourced curriculum evaluation and an enhanced royalty system that values customization and individualized instruction.

Being a genuinely good brand in 2010 takes more than a widely used product and an ubiquitous global presence. Though there is no precise formula, what the ten good brands on our list have in common is a penchant for imagination, innovation, environmental responsibility and social consciousness. Their products and services don’t just serve a basic need, but instead help as a tool to improve people’s lives.
Several companies have stayed strong, maintaining their positions from last year with continued innovation, while others on the list have jumped into prominence through offering creative solutions and ground breaking new business models.
We started our search for the Good Brands of 2010 by looking at the companies we were writing about on PSFK.com over the last six months. We then asked a panel of cross-industry global experts from the Purple List to tell us which of the common brands on PSFK were considered ‘Good’.
We hope the learnings from this report, and the companies identified within, provide you with inspiration that you can use to make things better.

The International Standard Name Identifier, or ISNI, was created to identify the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery. Now, Laura Dawson, Product Manager of Identifier Services at Bowker, will show us how ISNI has developed since the standard was first published in 2012. How is it managed? Who receives numbers? What impact has it had on publishing? And how can it be incorporated into current metadata management and distribution?
Metadata: Standards Basics for the Independent Publishing Community, with Gra...bisg
The better your metadata, the better your sales: that's the simple truth. Books with complete metadata sell almost three times better than a book with incomplete metadata, so there's a very good reason to learn about how to format and transmit this information to your industry partners. But where to begin?
In this session, Graham Bell, Chief Data Architect at EDItEUR, will offer practical guidance on writing, formatting, and transmitting metadata in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and help to make your metadata work for you.
This is the third in a three-part series, co-produced by IBPA and hosted by BISG, aimed at demystifying several of the core book industry standards through "101"-style sessions presented by experts in the field.
ISBNs and Identifiers: Standards Basics for the Independent Publishing Commun...bisg
What are identifiers? What purpose do they serve in the book industry?
According to BISG's Best Practices for Identifying Digital Products, an identifier is generally a sequence of alpha-numeric characters that unambiguosly differentiates one thing from another in a particular context.
But while that answer may seem straightforward enough, the fact is there's a lot more to identifiers than one might think.
The book industry employs numerous identifiers for different reasons in its day-to-day operations. This webcast will cover identifiers basics—what they are, how they are developed, and how and why they are used. Special focus will be given to the venerable ISBN and its use in today's digital marketplace, and the difference between the ISBN and proprietary product identifiers.
In this session, Phil Madans, Executive Director Digital Publishing Technology for Hachette Book Group, will discuss how to correctly use identifiers to ensure your books reach the hands of happy readers.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
