Learn from other librarians, publishers, and service providers how to use technology and standards to achieve this vision of seamless discovery to delivery. You will hear about solutions you can implement to: * make your content more accessible beyond your traditional user base * integrate or enhance your content with that of other content providers * utilize the latest in search and metasearch techniques * provide users with choices in delivery of discovered content * deliver information to users wherever they may be For more details and to register, visit the workshop webpage: <http://www.niso.org/news/events_workshops/D2D-06-wkshp.html>http://www.niso .org/news/events_workshops/D2D-06-wkshp.html.
