Core Webinar Series: Build Your Personal Website With Quarto (4-part series)

Date: February 12-March 12, 2025

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

Description:

Are you interested in sharing your work, such as scholarship, creative work, and other projects, and increasing your online visibility? Creating a personal website allows you to highlight yourself and your work, develop an online presence that connects people to you and your work, and share your thoughts in a blog or other pages. Having a personal website is a great way for consultants or speakers to market their services and develop a portfolio of past work; for researchers and scholars to share their publications, including archiving for green open access; for public intellectuals to write blog posts and direct readers to their other writings; and for creatives to highlight their work in various formats and media. This four-part webinar series will provide a basic foundation to get a personal website started and develop the skills to continue building and maintaining your site. We'll rely on Quarto and GitHub Pages: Quarto makes publishing websites simple while providing a lot of customizability for users interested in going deeper, and GitHub Pages allows users to publish their websites for free.

   -

   Part 1: An Introduction to GitHub Pages, Markdown, and R Studio
   -

   Part 2: Getting Started
   -

   Part 3: Highlighting Your Work and Creating a Blog
   -

   Part 4: Sharing Your Research

Who should attend?

Library leaders, researchers, and consultants who want to highlight themselves and their work using a personal website.

Presenters:

Matthew Weirick Johnson (they/he) is the Director of Research & Instruction at the University of South Florida Libraries.

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that the Catalog Management Interest Group <https://connect.ala.org/core/communities/community-home?communitykey=c7047171-cc88-4f95-ab89-00f22146ffeb>will
hold a session during the ALA Core IG Week <https://www.ala.org/core/continuing-education/interest-group-week> on *Wednesday, March 5th, at 10am CT / 11am ET / 8am PT.*

*Session Title*: ?*Cataloging, Catalog Management & Sharing Metadata with the Community in an Era of Consortia, Linked Data and Machine Learning* ?
*Session Description*: More than ever, we are in the time of transitions and a shared metadata environment with other institutions, consortia and various communities. Thus, when we catalog or do catalog management, we do try to contribute to greater good. Now our shared metadata environments are more deeply implicated in the broader information ecosystem: resource sharing, analytics, web via linked data, publisher/vendors? indexes ? AND as AI/ML learning data. In this session, we will hear some of our colleagues? efforts on the latest initiatives or contributions.

#1:
*Presenter*. *Elizabeth York, Electronic Resources Librarian, Rutgers University Libraries*
*Title*: *Using & Contributing to the Alma Community Zone*
*Summary*: One of the central features of Ex Libris Alma is the Alma Community Zone (CZ), the e-resources repository shared by all Alma Libraries. This presentation will discuss how Alma community members can contribute to the CZ, how Ex Libris is working to improve the quality of CZ records through improvements such as the AI metadata generator, and how librarians who use Alma and the CZ can guide their development through Ex Libris feedback channels, such as the Idea Exchange and the annual CERV (formerly NERS) enhancements process.

#2:
*Presenters*: *Cynthia Whitacre & Laura Ramsey, both Senior Metadata Operations Managers at OCLC*
*Title*: *OCLC Catalog maintenance efforts using machine learning and human
resources*
*Summary*:  WorldCat is an extremely large bibliographic database; multiple approaches are used to do database maintenance.  This talk will focus on the project to add links for WorldCat entities as a preparation for linked data, correcting patterns of incorrect data using human resources combined with automated tools, and the machine learning project to merge more duplicate records.

#3:
*Presenter*: *Sebastian Hammer, CEO, Index Data & Allen Jones, Director of Digital Libraries & Technical Services, The New School*
*Title*: *From Discovery to Delivery: The ReShare Shared Index*
*Summary*: ReShare is a consortial borrowing platform focused on lending to library print and electronic materials within a single consortium.
Recently, the community has begun asking questions about how to share requests between groups. How do you solve the problem of sending requests from one network to another when each network may not share bibliographic identifiers? This talk will focus on the challenges of inter-consortium or inter-vendor lending and the metadata challenges ahead for the access services and interlibrary lending communities. We will outline a community-based approach to build solutions for the ReShare community.

We will record the session and post slides and related materials on our IG Connect site, but meanwhile please mark your calendar and *register this

The ALA Core MARC Formats Transition Interest Group is pleased to announce its program for the 2025 ALA Core IG Week. Our session will be held online on March 6, 2025, from 3:00-4:00 pm (CST) / 4:00-5:00pm (EST) / 1:00-2:00pm (PST).
Please register at:  https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/LId_H2xJRm-bq6RcfUOrzg<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/LId_H2xJRm-bq6RcfUOrzg__;!!JmPEgBY0HMszNaDT!rPOMEqKslQk4V_3CTctEYExXvPFOAK8Pnn-CE4NGqinL2V4nrfZtNBo6Dt-GiepZIl5X_H9jxsIRh11d$>
This session will explore participants' experiences with the transition of MARC format to a linked data environment. We are excited to feature four outstanding presentations that explore strategies for transitioning MARC to linked data, practical implementations in library systems, the evolving MARC-BIBFRAME landscape, and approaches to teaching linked data in LIS education.
Theme: Transforming MARC for a Linked Data Age Revolutionizing Library Data: Transforming MARC for the Linked Data Era Adina Marciano, Manager, Metadata Product Management, Ex libris, Part of Clarivate In the evolving landscape of library data management, transitioning from MARC metadata formats to linked data is crucial for enhancing discoverability and interoperability. This presentation will explore strategies for transitioning library workflows from MARC to linked data, focusing on recent developments and enhancements in Alma and Primo that facilitate this transformation.
We will discuss practical approaches to re-engineering library workflows, to ensure a smooth transition to linked data. By leveraging Alma and Primo's advanced capabilities, libraries can enhance the discoverability of their collections, making them more accessible and interconnected. The presentation will cover key tools and technologies that support this transition, including new configurations and integrations with external linked data sources.
Libraries are provided with tools that support the creation of high-quality metadata, enhancing discoverability and interoperability of collections. We will demonstrate current capabilities and outline future steps each library can take in this journey.

Modern MARC: MARC for a Linked Data Environment Kevin Ford and Jodi Williamschen, Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress In January, the Library of Congress announced "Modern MARC," a summary of new input conventions and expanded use of MARC changes that enable the modeling of linked data. This presentation will share examples of Modern MARC records, illustrating the changes made to align with linked data, along with a discussion of the dual MARC and BIBFRAME environment at the Library of Congress.

Navigating the Hybrid Data Environment: Leveraging Linked Data in a MARC-based World Anne Washington, MLIS - Product Analyst, OCLC For decades, libraries have researched and explored linked data, learning valuable lessons along the way. Now, with advancements in data, infrastructure, and tools, it's time to move from exploration to action.
While any replacement of MARC-based cataloging with linked data services will take time and careful evaluation, libraries of every size, type, location, and funding level can begin implementing linked data strategies today using data and tools already available.
Linked data for libraries requires a stable infrastructure that enables integration and interoperability at scale, allowing each library to proceed at their own pace, based on their needs and resources.
This program introduces linked data fundamentals that will help you use linked data to expand the reach of your library. You'll learn how:

  *   Publishing existing library information as linked data immediately supports better description and discovery of library resources across the web.
  *   Enriching MARC records with linked data URIs establishes a bridge between MARC data and linked data, connecting data across local systems and workflows.
  *   Enhancing existing cataloging applications with linked data functionality empowers metadata experts to add valuable linked data elements to existing records and workflows.
  *   Creating consistent and highly reliable BIBFRAME data allows libraries to work seamlessly between MARC and linked data.
  *   Leveraging new tools allows metadata experts to break up information locked in MARC records and create new connections across the wider knowledge ecosystem.
  *   Developing the ability for search services to index linked data can lead to unexpected discovery experiences.

Teaching Linked Data to the Next Generation: Approaches and Observations Kelsea Izor, Metadata Librarian, Samford University As libraries transition from MARC-based cataloging to a linked data environment, LIS educators play a critical role in preparing future metadata professionals. This presentation examines my approach to teaching linked data to LIS students at the University of Alabama in the synchronous online course "Linked Data." I will discuss my methods for teaching linked data concepts, guiding students in constructing linked datasets, and contextualizing MARC's evolving role.
Additionally, I will discuss key challenges I have observed that students face in understanding linked data, primarily technical and practical barriers and uncertainty about real-world application. I will share instructional strategies, hands-on assignments, and practical exercises that bridge traditional MARC cataloging with linked data frameworks. Further, I will highlight how students perceive the shift from MARC to linked data, helping us better understand how to approach linked data education.
This session invites discussion on how LIS programs can evolve to equip students with the necessary skills for working in an increasingly linked data-based information ecosystem.
Attendees will gain insights into teaching approaches as well as broader implications for LIS education and professional training.
Thank you for your interest and participation! We look forward to seeing you at the session!
