    Dear Colleagues,

    The     ALA Core MARC Formats Transition Interest Group is seeking volunteers to serve as Co-Chairs/Co-Vice-Chairs for the 2025-2026 term.

    Part of Core's     Metadata and Collections Section, the MARC Formats Transition IG provides a forum to educate the library community about ongoing efforts to transition from the MARC Standard for bibliographic data and examines new approaches and strategies for implementing bibliographic data models within the framework of linked open data and semantic web technology.

    Co-Chairs/Co-Vice-Chairs are expected to participate in session planning and delivery, including solicitation for speakers and selecting topics for presentation during ALA Core Interest Group Week, filing reports to ALA, and selecting incoming Co-Vice Chairs. Attendance at ALA Annual Conferences is desirable and highly encouraged. No prior experience is necessary, but candidates must be members of ALA Core.

    If you are interested, please submit your name and a brief email expressing your interest to Sai Deng (    sai.deng@ucf.edu) and Lihong Zhu (lzhu2@wsu.edu). 

    We look forward to hearing from you!
    MARC Formats Transition IG
