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/
