ALCTS webinar: Metadata Enriching and Discovery
Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description: The return on investment for academic libraries is chiefly tied to access, usage and impact. Without accurate, consistent and quality metadata on the one hand, and an easy-to-use and effective discovery service on the other, these valuable resources may remain invisible and inaccessible to users. In this webinar, four overarching metadata principles, namely: metadata enriching, linking, openness and filtering are presented. And how these ideas help shape the metadata creation and discovery services at Solent University – focusing on the implementation of RDA and FRBR as well as the use of subject authority headings and authority controls.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the webinar, the attendees should be able to get acquainted with the emerging metadata principles metadata enriching, linking, openness and filtering.
Who should attend?
This would be of interest to librarians, students of librarianship and cataloguers.
Presenter:
Getaneh Alemu completed his PhD from the University of Portsmouth (2014), where he developed a theory of metadata enriching and filtering. He is currently a Cataloguing & Metadata Librarian at Solent University, UK. He co-authored a book entitled “An Emergent Theory of Digital Library Metadata: Enrich then Filter" (Chandos Publishing, 2015), published on the topics of metadata, digital libraries, open access, Linked Data and Web 2.0.
