Sharing a reminder that the Core Bibliographic Conceptual Models Interest Group (BCMIG) is seeking two co-Chairs for the 2024-2026 term: the first year as co-Vice-Chairs and the second as (full) co-Chairs. BCMIG provides a forum for discussing the conceptual models that underlie current library metadata standards. We likewise engage with the emerging models and Web-native standards that support linked data applications and services, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects. If this topic appeals to you, please consider serving as a BCMIG co-Chair! We are especially interested in hearing from early-career professionals and members of groups which are underrepresented in librarianship.
As co-Chair of BCMIG, you are expected to attend both the Midwinter Virtual IG Week session and a summer session, and to participate in the planning and delivery of such sessions. Virtual participation as a co-chair can be facilitated. The incoming co-Chairs learn by working alongside the existing co-Chairs, so no prior experience is required. Your term would begin in September 2024.
If interested, please send your name, title, and related experience to Benjamin Riesenberg (briesenb@uoregon.edu, they/them).
We look forward to hearing from you!
BCM IG co-Chairs (2024-2025):
