Converging Metadata Standards in Cultural Institutions: Apples & Oranges

SATURDAY, June 26, 2010

8-10 am, Washington Convention Center, Ballroom B

As more digital library initiatives become collaborative and inclusive 
of content curated outside libraries, they are faced with the challenge 
of integrating their own traditional metadata creation practices with 
those from outside of the profession.  Attendees will learn about 
digitization projects incorporating archival and museum content, and how 
those standards have been successfully applied alongside and crosswalked 
with library metadata.

Speakers:

Joyce Chapman, Libraries Fellow, North Carolina State University
"User-feedback and the user experience: new ideas for evaluating the 
return on investment of archival metadata"

Ching-hsien Wang, Manager, Library and Archives Support Branch 
Organization, Smithsonian Institution
"Integrating collections within a single institution"

Danielle Plumer, Coordinator, Texas Heritage Online, Texas State Library 
and Archives Commission
"Integrating collections across institutional boundaries"

This program is sponsored by the ALCTS Metadata Interest Group and 
co-sponsored by ALA-SAA-AAM Combined Committee on Archives, Libraries, 
and Museums (CALM).
