June 7 and 8, the Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS) <http://www.ala.org/alcts/>
will host a virtual preconference that will bring the conference experience
to you. We Can Do It, You Can Too! Metadata Automation For Everyone
<http://www.ala.org/alcts/events/ac/2016/vc>
is a two-day virtual preconference that consists of two 90-minute sessions
on automating descriptive metadata creation and automating legacy data
cleanup projects. Registration is open, so sign up early to make sure you
get a spot.
As the pressure mounts to “digitize all the things!," the need to upload
new digital material quickly, efficiently and accurately while maintaining
established standards for discovery and interoperability becomes essential.
This virtual preconference, which takes place June 7-8, will explore
methods for meeting these expectations including leveraging existing
archival data, batch processing, vocabulary reconciliation and other
techniques.
