ALCTS e-Forum: Linked data for the rest of us: linked data projects
completed by small to midsize libraries and what you can do to prepare
yourself for the linked data world

July 24-25, 2018

Moderated by Anne Washington, Andrew Weidner, and Xiping Liu

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

While the Library of Congress and some other big players are experimenting
with BIBFRAME to replace traditional MARC cataloging, what can the rest of
us do besides closely following the fast-paced linked data development? In
this e-Forum, we invite you to share with us your linked data projects in
your libraries. The forum discussion will address the questions: how you
can prepare yourself to help move your library towards a linked data
environment; what are the necessary skill sets needed; where are the
practical resources available; what are the main obstacles faced by your
library in implementing linked data; what are your practical concerns; and
anything else that’s related to linked data that you are curious to know
but don’t have a chance to ask.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
