The Core transition is changing, in some cases, how interest groups (IGs) operate within ALA. The ALCTS/LITA Linked Library Data IG (LLDIG) is assessing how its role can and should change and whether the IG serves a need in the Core community. This IG currently hosts panel events twice a year at ALA and ALA Midwinter and manages a list serv. There are two co-chairs and no formal membership. Due to the changing nature of MARC and non-MARC metadata, there is often overlapping content from this IG and other IGs.
My co-chair, Ben Riesenberg, and I request feedback from the Core community regarding (1) what is considered typical for IGs and (2) what do you recommend for the future of LLDIG?
