NFAIS resources

The website of the (US) National Federation of Advanced Information Services is a useful resource. This used to be the National Federation of Abstracting and Indexing Services: you can see why they changed the name, but old name gives more of a clue what the association is, i.e. a well-established trade association for database producers. It has always run interesting conferences, and they have some other resources. Notable are:
- Library Training and Educational Resources (links to videos, reference sheets etc. from some of their members, e.g. covering Refworks, Proquest and NLM products) http://www.nfais.org/page/313-library-education-resources
- Text of the annual Miles Conrad lectures (e.g. 2009 one was "Challenges for great libraries in the age of the digital native" from Lynne Brindley) http://www.nfais.org/page/39-miles-conrad-lectures
- Presentations from conferences e.g. from:
- - Improving The User Experience - Part I (May 2010) http://www.nfais.org/page/260-improving-the-user-experience-part-i
- - Improving the User Search Experience Part II: Leveraging Content to Improve Discoverability and Use (October 2010) http://www.nfais.org/page/280-improving-the-user-experience-part-ii
- - Assessing The usage and Value of Scholarly and Scientific Output: An Overview of traditional and emerging metrics (November 2010) http://www.nfais.org/page/305-assessing-value-and-usage-of-scholarly-and-scientific-output
