Please note that, with this conference, we are changing our name to the
Metadata Interest Group. Since our new name is a subset of the old, you
can search either version in the Event Planner and find us. In print,
however, you may find us now alphabetized under "M".
Program:
Workflow Tools for Automating Metadata Creation and Maintenance
McCormick Place West, W-181
Saturday, July 11th
10:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon
As digital projects become less peripheral and more integral to library
operations, institutions must begin to address the implications of this
change. With the increasing amount of digital content libraries are
expected to create and maintain, data curation has emerged as a key
objective. Intended for librarians who are involved with the development
and management of metadata, this session will present examples of
current work and discussion opportunities for collaborative development
of tools among institutions.
Speakers: Jenn Riley, Metadata Librarian, Indiana University; Rhonda
Marker, Repository Collection Manager, Rutgers University; Ann Caldwell,
Coordinator, Digital Production Services, Brown University
Discussion & Business Meeting:
Intercontinental St. Clair
Sunday, July 12th
8:00 am - 10:00 am.
The title of Metadata Librarian first appeared in the late 1990's in
conjunction with developments in information technology and digital
library initiatives. Since the title is a relatively new one, the
responsibilities and competencies of the position have yet to be clearly
defined. This study examined 86 job descriptions for metadata librarian
positions and 83 job descriptions for cataloging librarian positions,
all posted from 2000 to 2008. The authors focused on three properties
common to most of the job descriptions: education, required
qualifications, and desired qualifications. These properties were
analyzed, in order to answer following questions: 1. What is the
required skill set for a metadata librarian? 2. Are there any changes or
differences in job descriptions over time? 3. What are the differences
between Metadata Librarians and Cataloging Librarians in terms of
competencies and required qualifications?
Speakers: Myung-Ja Han, Assistant Professor, Serials Cataloging,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Patricia Hswe, Project
Manager for NDIIPP Partner Projects, Graduate School of Library and
Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
As a follow-up to the research presentation, we will have a facilitated
discussion on the topic of education for metadata librarians. What
knowledge and skills do metadata librarians need to enter the job market
and to develop while on the job? What do library schools currently offer
to support this, and what should they be offering that they currently
aren't? What continuing education opportunities are available to
metadata librarians, from ALCTS and other sources, and what's not
readily available that metadata librarians need? Please join us for an
open discussion of these and related topics, led by Steven Miller,
Senior Lecturer, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, School of
Information Studies.
We are also sponsoring the following ticketed pre-conferences:
