Amigos Library Services is seeking presentation proposals for its upcoming meeting “Innovating with Metadata: An Amigos Online Conference”. The event will take place on Thursday, November 9, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM CST. It will use the Amigos Online Classroom. The requirements for program proposals are below.
Today’s metadata is not yesterday’s cataloging. Libraries are doing amazing things with all kinds of metadata from many sources. How is your library innovating with metadata? We would like to hear from you. Possible topics include the following.
- new metadata standards and application profiles
- transforming and exchanging metadata within and between organizations
- automated ways of generating discovery, preservation and technical metadata
- new systems; innovative uses of institutional repositories, image management systems, discovery layers
- creative uses of linked data and RDF
- transitioning from MARC to BIBFRAME
- innovating with metadata on a shoe-string budget
Each session will be 45 minutes in length. If you’re interested in presenting, but have never done it online, don’t worry-we will teach you what you need to know! We welcome submissions from staff in academic, public and special libraries who work with metadata.
Please submit your proposal here by Thursday, August 31. We will be posting registration information in early October.
