Announcing the Rosenblum Award for Scholarly Publishing Impact
Five scholarly publishing associations partner to launch a new award recognizing innovation and impact in scholarly communications.
Todd Carpenter is currently Executive Director of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), where he helps to organize community consensus on a variety of technical and business practice issues for publishers, libraries, and systems vendors. He has served SSP as Secretary-Treasurer, a Board member, and a chair of several committees including Education and Web Editorial. He additionally serves in a number of leadership roles of a variety of organizations, including as Chair of the ISO Technical Subcommittee on Identification & Description (ISO TC46/SC9), founding partner of the Coalition for Seamless Access, Past President of FORCE11, Treasurer of the Book Industry Study Group (BISG), and a Director of the Foundation of the Baltimore County Public Library.
After receiving his Bachelors degree in Philosophy and German from Syracuse University, Todd escaped the snowy northern climate for the warmth and sun in Georgia and then eventually Maryland. Realizing there was no lucrative future in philosophical musings or reading German literature, Todd entered publishing, where he worked in a variety of marketing management roles at the Haworth Press, the Energy Intelligence Group, the Johns Hopkins University Press, and BioOne. When not working on standards development, his wife and two children, gourmet cooking, running, biking, and photography engage almost all of his waking hours. Todd is a regular speaker at community events, and is also active (albeit less so now) on twitter @tac_niso.
