Not sure what Mashcat is? "Mashcat" was originally an event in the UK
in 2012 which was aimed at bringing together people working on the IT
systems side of libraries with those working in cataloguing and
metadata.  Nowadays, Mashcat is a loose group of metadata specialists,
cataloguers, developers and anyone else with an interest in how
metadata in and around libraries can be created, manipulated, used and
re-used by computers and software. The aim is to work together and
bridge the communications gap that has sometimes gotten in the way of
building the best tools we possibly can to manage library data.

In 2016, we held the first North American face-to-face event in Boston
(http://www.mashcat.info/past-events/2016-event/) and conducted two
webinars (http://www.mashcat.info/2016/01/21/upcoming-webinars-in-early-2016/).

We look forward to seeing you there!
