*Tuesday, June 7 - Wednesday, June 8*



June 7 and 8, the *Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS) <http://www.ala.org/alcts/>* will host a virtual
preconference that will bring the conference experience to you.  *We
Can Do It, You Can Too! Metadata Automation For Everyone

preconference that consists of two 90-minute sessions on automating
descriptive metadata creation and automating legacy data cleanup projects.

existing archival data, batch processing, vocabulary reconciliation and
