The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group seeks presentation proposals for the
program “Metadata Services for Research Data Management” during the ALCTS
Virtual Preconference "Planning for the Evolving Role of Metadata
Librarians" prior to the 2015 ALA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA. This
program is scheduled to take place during the week of June 1st (specific
days during the week of June 1st will be determined at a later date in
consultation with speaker availability). Presentations are 30 minutes in
total -- 20 minutes for the presentation, 10 minutes for questions.
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 and curate research data.
Potential topics could include:
- Creation of metadata workflows or tools for discipline-based metadata
schema and repositories (internal and external)
- Utilization of emerging metadata schema, including the semantic web, to
describe research data
- Implementation of metadata consultation services for researchers.
Participants will gain awareness of the current issues surrounding metadata
services for research data management and identify different methods and
approaches for working with researchers and the metadata they generate.
The deadline for proposals is December 5, 2014. Proposals may be submitted
through this form : http://goo.gl/forms/PSd2yrSMof
If you have any difficulties with this form, please feel free to submit
your proposals directly by email to sathompson3_at_uh.edu
Thank you!
