[Metadatalibrarians] Workshops/conferences for Metadata Librarians next year?

[Steven Miller]

Hi Michael, 



Here are a few leads I'm aware of: 



ALCTS regularly posts announcements of upcoming continuing education metadata offerings on their Web site: http://www.ala.org/ALCTSTemplate.cfm?Section=alcts&CFID=100565140&CFTOKEN=61592286 



LC has now made freely-avialable all of the Catalogers Learning Workshop materials, which include a number of metadata-related ones: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/courses/   These workshops are also taught periodically by different hosts and trainers around the country. 



Among other offerings, Jennifer Lang and I will be teaching Diane Hillmann's Metadata Standards and Applications workshop as an ALA Annual Preconference, July 9-10 in Chicago.  



I also teach an 5-week online Metadata for Digital Collections workshop through my School of Information Studies.  The next offering will be Feb. 16 - Mar. 30, 2009. 



I'm sure there are others workshops and sources of information out there besides the ones I've mentioned.

My library (University of Miami Libraries) is trying to fill the position of 
Metadata Librarian right now: 
http://www.library.miami.edu/about/employment/faculty_metadata.html 

I am wondering if I can have some recommendations of workshop/conferences to 
where I can send the prospective metadata librarian in coming year. This 
position is newly created and we are willing to train him/her by sending to 
several metadata related-trainings. I am open to any suggestion. 

Thanks, 
Michael
