Three 90 minute sessions over three days REGISTER<http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olweb&Template=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfm&ConferenceTypeCode=X> The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group invites you to join us for the ALCTS ALA Annual Virtual Preconference "Planning for the Evolving Role of Metadata Services." The preconference will feature three days of exploring the expansion of metadata services, including: Session 1: Metadata Services for Research Data Management (June 2) Librarians continue to engage in active partnerships with researchers who seek assistance in describing and organizing their data to meet federal mandates and to promote the discoverability and preservation of their work. This session will examine different ways that librarians collaborate with researchers to manage metadata workflows for research data. * Research Data Support at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG): a Metadata Perspective Presented by Anna Craft, Metadata Cataloger at UNCG * Using DDI Metadata to Support Research Data Management Presented by Jared Lyle, Director of Curation Services, ICPSRMetadata Services for Research Data Management Session 2: Assessing Metadata Staffing and Workflows (June 3) Many metadata programs have moved beyond the beginning stages of developing workflows for digital library content. Planning for future development requires analyzing current costs and workflows. This program will discuss ways in which metadata creators and coordinators gather, assess, and report metrics in order to evaluate staffing and workflows. * Evolving Workflows for Metadata Ingest at The UC San Diego Library Presented by Arwen Hutt, Metadata Librarian, UC San Diego * Integrating New Services into Existing Metadata Workflows Presented by Nathan B. Putnam and Bria L. Parker, Metadata Services, University of Maryland Session 3: Techniques and Technologies for Developing Local Controlled Vocabularies (June 4) Best practices for managing local controlled vocabularies have grown rapidly in recent years with the development of standards such as the Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Person and Families (EAC-CPF). These guidelines have influenced not only the development of special collections practices, but also metadata standards for localized controlled vocabularies. How should institutions handle these changes to stay up to date with new and emerging standards? This program will look at two cases studies from the University of Miami Libraries and the George Washington University Libraries that demonstrate technology and techniques for managing local controlled vocabularies and implementing EAC-CPF. * Special Collections, Special Thesauri: Managing and Publishing Local Vocabularies with TemaTres Presented by Allison Jai O'Dell, Special Collections Cataloging & Metadata Librarian, University of Miami Libraries * Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families and Washingtoniana Collections: A Pilot Project at the George Washington University Libraries Presented by Dan Tam Do, Metadata Services Managers, George Washington University Libraries Registration Fees (series of 3 sessions) $109 for ALCTS members $149 for nonmembers $ 50 for retired members and student members Single session registration is also available.
