Call for Proposals: "Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries," ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week, Metadata Interest Group session

  • 1.  Call for Proposals: "Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries," ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week, Metadata Interest Group session

    Posted Dec 18, 2023 04:37 PM

    The ALA Core Metadata Interest Group (MIG) seeks presentation proposals for its session on Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries during ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week. The Metadata Interest Group session will take place on Monday, March 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

    We invite you to submit proposals related to metadata in shared digital libraries.

    Shared digital libraries provide metadata in a centrally available system, allowing users to search across collections from multiple institutions. Institutions benefit by extending the reach of their digital collections, but they also face challenges to ensure that contributed metadata is appropriate for the aggregating repository.

    This session will consist of three 15-minute presentations related to metadata in shared digital libraries. We will have Q&A time after the presentations. Submissions from all institution types and contributors to any shared digital repository are welcome. ALA Core membership is not required to present at or attend Core IG Week programming.

    Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

    • Preparing metadata for harvesting

    • Metadata interoperability

    • Metadata application profile development

    • Rights metadata

     

    Please email your proposal using the subject line MIG proposal to the Interest Group's Programming Co-chairs, Elisa Naquin (enaquin1@lsu.edu) and Kate James (jamesk@oclc.org) by Friday, January 26. The applicants will be notified of decisions by Friday, February 2nd. 

     

    Your proposal should include the following:

    The name, email, job title and affiliated institution of the presenter(s), the title of the presentation, and an abstract not to exceed 300 words.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kate or Elisa, Core MIG Programming Co-Chairs.
