Metadata Interest Group Meeting
Tuesday, June 9, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. CT | Sign up to Attend
Description:
The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group facilitates active conversation among librarians and information professionals about projects, ideas, and practical use cases related to library metadata.
While the interest group usually plans a program of presentations, given the unprecedented situation facing us all this year, the program will follow a more open, town hall format. The aim is to encourage discussion about any work or ideas related to metadata, with a special emphasis on topics/questions related to the impact of the current COVID-19 crisis on metadata work. This open format is an opportunity to encourage community participation, provide a platform to express concerns and ask questions, and offer solutions to support each other.
Discussion may include:
- How does telecommuting affect your workflow on metadata?
- Has your library been working on a reopening plan? How does that affect your metadata work?
- Have any new projects come out of the need to work from home?
- What have you learned from this situation that you will be able to leverage in future work?
- Other metadata creation, management, evaluation, and maintenance topics
Presenters:
The IG members will moderate the discussion: Rachel Turner, Mingyan Li (Programming co-chairs), Darnelle Melvin, Anne Washington, Charlie Tillay, and Jacky Hart
