BREAKOUT SESSIONS:
Attendees will choose one of the following concurrent sessions:
The "Unified Discovery Platform" and the Library Catalog: Teammates or Rivals? -- Cecilia
P. Tittemore, Head, Cataloging and Metadata Services, Dartmouth College Library. As the
use of discovery systems grows, what will be the future of traditional library catalogs?
This session will explore the metadata principles and practices behind discovery platforms
and library catalogs and how they result in different user experiences.
Research Data and Libraries -- Donna Kafel, MLIS, Project Coordinator, Lamar Soutter
Library, University of Massachusetts Medical School, and Rebecca Reznik-Zellen, Science
Librarian for the Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing, University of Massachusetts at
Amherst. Researchers must now prepare plans for data management and curation for grant
proposals. Librarians are ideally suited to provide support in this area. What skills
and knowledge do we need for success in these efforts and to demonstrate our value to our
parent institutions?
User Knows Best: Patron Driven Acquisition and the Death of "Expertise" -- Deborah
Lenares, Manager, Acquisitions & Resources-Sharing, Wellesley College and Peter Spitzform,
Collection Development Librarian, Bailey/Howe Library, University of Vermont. The advent
of patron-driven acquisitions is turning traditional selection and acquisitions models
upside down. How does it work and how can we make it successful in our own institutions?
The Digital Future -- Patrick Yott, Director, Library Technology Services, Northeastern
University. What new skills are needed and what roles can technical services and metadata
staff play in the next decade to support digital repositories and other digital services
provided by the library to the larger institution?
Presentation of the 2011 NETSL award for Excellence in Technical Services will be made at
the luncheon.
