- New Website Unveiled
- Although the site is not yet complete, the NCIP-IG has unveiled a new and improved website. The site is easier to maintain than its predecessors, so the NCIP-IG will be able to post more timely and current information. Much of the information from the previous site has been migrated, and that work continues. One of the goals as part of this migration is to better integrate information hosted at the NISO NCIP Workroom.
