    Call for Posters: 2021 LD4 Conference on Linked Data, "Building Connections Together"

    Do you have a tool, project, or idea related to linked data in archives, libraries, or museums? The 2021 LD4 Conference Program Committee invites you to submit a proposal for the 2021 LD4 Conference virtual poster session on July 20, 2021! 

    Themes and Criteria

    While posters can focus on any topic related to linked data in libraries, we especially encourage submissions aligned with this year's conference themes:

    • Linked data education
    • Inclusion of diverse voices
    • Practical steps toward linked data adoption
    • Reliability and availability of linked data
    • Incorporating linked data into day-to-day library operations
    • Linked data advocacy

    The Program Committee will evaluate proposals based on the following criteria:

    • Support of the conference theme and goals
    • Interest to the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) community
    • Representation from groups, regions, and topics that are traditionally underrepresented in conferences related to linked data

     

    Details

    • To propose a poster for the conference, please fill in this proposal submission form by June 21, 2021. The Program Committee will communicate decisions for proposals by June 28, 2021.
    • If accepted, you'll be asked to submit your poster by July 12, 2021. Recommended file types for poster submissions are PDF, PNG or JPEG, but please let us know if there is a format that better suits your topic.
