Below is a list of metadata and digital library-friendly sessions for ALA Midwinter 2010. Planning to attend a session or already reporting on a session? Think about blogging it here! If you would like to blog any of the sessions, please contact Kristin Martin at kmarti@uic.edu with your name, e-mail address, and preferred session. Fuller descriptions, when available, are linked to. See a section not on here that you think would be of interest? Suggest it!
I’ve tried to be inclusive as possible with the sessions as metadata is a cross-disciplinary topic within library and information science. Sessions of interest include metadata, digital projects, digital technology, and cataloging, and are from all different groups within and even outside of ALA. Are you blogging a session on another venue? Let me know and I’ll add that information and a link. After ALA, I will try to link to as many sessions as I can that have write-ups.
