Best of Core at ALA Annual Conference: Dialogues in Metadata: Bridging the
Gap Between LIS Education and Metadata in Practice

Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: What are the key roles and core competencies demanded of
metadata professionals in the current and future library environment? And
what knowledge and skill sets are cultivated in the modern Library and
Information Science (LIS) metadata curricula? Is there a gap between LIS
education and expectations of entry-level metadata practitioners and how to
strike a balance between the theory and practice? And how could graduate
students be well prepared to step into a real metadata profession? More
importantly, is equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) reflected in LIS
education and metadata curricula and how? This panel session invites four
panelists (LIS educator, graduate student, and metadata managers) to
discuss these questions. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the
current metadata curricula and LIS education transformation, core
competencies required for entry-level metadata librarians, and the
embedding of EDI in metadata education and practice. Attendees will leave
the session with more insight and strategies to bridge the gap between LIS
education and metadata in practice. Graduate students could be more
prepared for a pursuit of metadata careers.

Presenters:

Dr. Karen M. Wickett is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information
Sciences at the University of Illinois. Her research areas include
information organization, metadata, knowledge organization, and data
modeling. Dr. Wickett is most interested in the analysis of common concepts
and data models in information systems. Examining the assumptions and
models behind these systems and artifacts can reveal bias and help us
understand the role of information systems in societal oppression.

Myung-Ja (MJ) K. Han is a Professor and Head of Acquisitions and Cataloging
Services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library. Her
research interests include interoperability of metadata, relationships
between collection description and item-level metadata, issues on
bibliographic control in the digital library environment, and semantic web
and linked data.

Stephanie Luke (she/her) is Assistant Professor-Metadata Librarian at the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She received an MA in English and
a MLS with a specialization in rare books and manuscript librarianship,
both from Indiana University-Bloomington. She has worked in libraries for
seven years.

Sarah Rebecca Gaglio is a MS student in Library and Information Science at
the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign. She is on CARLI (Consortium of Academic and Research
Libraries in Illinois) Building Diversity Program and works as a graduate
assistant at the Loyola University Chicago (Spring '23) and University of
Illinois Chicago (Fall '22).
