today for two exciting ALCTS Preconferences coming to Chicago in June
On Friday, June 23,
at the 2017 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, the Association for
Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) brings you
two full-day preconferences: Building Successful Digital
Programs at Small Institutions and Cataloging and Metadata For
the Web: Meeting the User Where They Are. Join your
colleagues from 8 am to 4 pm for riveting discussions on the skills
required to build a sustainable digitization program at your library
and what it takes to increase libraries’ presence on the
open web.
Registration rates
are $219 for ALCTS members; $269 for ALA for members; and $319 for
non-members. Event Code: ALC2. Register now.
Building
Successful Digital Programs at Small Institutions
Have you wanted to
create a digital collection at your institution, but believe you lack
the resources and know-how? Designed to help smaller institutions
with limited resources, this preconference will help you begin or
reinvigorate a digitization program that will endure. The four
presentations will focus on each step in the digital lifecycle,
including selection, metadata creation, access, and digital
preservation. This preconference event is intended for smaller
institutions that do not have individualized areas of expertise
available to help maintain a local digital collections program. Register now.
Cataloging
and Metadata for the Web: Meeting the User Where They Are
This informative
preconference discusses ways in which one can expose library services
and content on the open web, meeting library users where they are. A
panel of librarians will share their first-hand experiences
implementing the concepts and ideas discussed in the Library
Technology Report “Improving Web Visibility: Into the Hands of
Readers.” This preconference event is intended for professional
and paraprofessional cataloging and metadata staff at academic,
public, and specialty libraries. Register now.
