	Description:<br>
	The library community is abuzz about open source software.&nbsp\;Open source usually refers to an application whose source code is made available for use or modification as users see fit. To our libraries, open source will mean more flexibility and freedom than software purchased with license restrictions, making it an important path for libraries to consider.&nbsp\;In this second part of a two part series, Nicole C. Engard, author of &#39\;Practical Open Source Software for Libraries&#39\;, will provide librarians with a toolbox of open source applications that libraries worldwide are using to improve services for patrons and staff alike.<br>
	*Please note: Attendance at the first part is not required, but is recommended as a pre-requisite for those who need more background on what open source is and how it is being used in libraries.<br>
	<br>
	By the end of this program, participants will:<br>
	&bull\; List open source applications for the library, home and office<br>
	&bull\; Compare open source applications to traditional proprietary options<br>
	<br>
	Presenter:<br>
	Nicole C. Engard is the Director of Open Source Education at ByWater Solutions, where her primary role is to educate librarians about open source software with a focus on the Koha Integrated Library System. In 2007, Nicole was named one of Library Journal&#39\;s Movers &amp\; Shakers and in 2009 she was the editor of &ldquo\;Library Mashups,&rdquo\; a book published by Information Today, Inc.&nbsp\;In 2010, she will publish &ldquo\;Practical Open Source Software for Libraries&rdquo\; with Chandos Inc.</div>

\n		
\n		Who should attend:
\n		Public, academic, and special librarians concerned with information literacy and the changing roles libraries will play in a transliterate future
\n		
\n		Description:
\n		Libraries have focused on literacy, the ability to read, write and interact, for years.&nbsp\;Because literacy is a necessary part of being involved in and contributing to society, it is an important service to our patrons and our communities. However, times are changing, and as technologies evolve rapidly, it&rsquo\;s no longer enough to focus on the ability to read and write alone. Libraries need to shift their focus to transliteracy. Come join us and learn how transliteracy is tied to literacy and why it is so important to libraries.
\n		
\n		By the end of this program, participants will:
\n		&bull\; Understand what transliteracy is
\n		&bull\; Know why shifting library focuses from traditional literacies to transliteracy is essential
\n		&bull\; Learn clear steps towards building a library that supports transliterate education

\n		Location: National Archives at New York City, 201 Varick Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10014 (Entrance on Houston Street, between Varick and Hudson)

\n		
\n		Who should attend:
\n		Librarians, archivists, and scholars interested in learning more about how humanities scholars&#39\; work is changing and librarians and archivists are influencing and responding to those changes
\n		
\n		Description:
\n		The digital humanities is being recognized as the hot new scholarly discipline in town - &ldquo\;the digital humanities seem like the first &lsquo\;next big thing&rsquo\; in a long time,&rdquo\; wrote William Pannapacker.&nbsp\;Yet some maintain that the digital humanities isn&rsquo\;t a scholarly discipline at all. Making matters more complicated is that college and university faculty aren&#39\;t the only people building digital humanities projects, attending digital humanities meetings, and writing for digital humanities publications.&nbsp\;Instructional technologists, programmers, graduate students, computer scientists, museum staff, and, yes, archivists and librarians all participate enthusiastically. In this session, participants will learn what &quot\;digital humanities&quot\; is, discuss its primary resources, and learn that they must ask themselves one important question: Am I a digital humanist? This event will also include a presentation from National Archives and Records Administration staff on digital initiatives at NARA.
\n		
\n		By the end of this program, participants will:

		Description:<br>
		The digital humanities is being recognized as the hot new scholarly discipline in town - &ldquo\;the digital humanities seem like the first &lsquo\;next big thing&rsquo\; in a long time,&rdquo\; wrote William Pannapacker.&nbsp\;Yet some maintain that the digital humanities isn&rsquo\;t a scholarly discipline at all. Making matters more complicated is that college and university faculty aren&#39\;t the only people building digital humanities projects, attending digital humanities meetings, and writing for digital humanities publications.&nbsp\;Instructional technologists, programmers, graduate students, computer scientists, museum staff, and, yes, archivists and librarians all participate enthusiastically. In this session, participants will learn what &quot\;digital humanities&quot\; is, discuss its primary resources, and learn that they must ask themselves one important question: Am I a digital humanist? This event will also include a presentation from National Archives and Records Administration staff on digital initiatives at NARA.<br>
		<br>
		By the end of this program, participants will:<br>
		&bull\; Understand the chief history, principles, and practices of the digital humanities<br>

Charles Livermore, Ben Turner\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n	Librarians, library workers, students, and information professionals interested in learning more about innovative uses of technology to improve basic library services
\n	
\n	Description:
\n	This 90-minute webinar will introduce participants to three innovative ways to improve library services. First, Valerie Forrestal and Barbara Arnett will discuss the creation of a javascript bookmarket that can be used in any browser to execute a search of library resources from any web page.&nbsp\;To make it easier for students at the Stevens Institute of Technology to search library resources, they created a Javascript bookmarket that eliminates the step of having to go to the library website first before searching. P. Charles Livermore will focus on LibAnswers as an inexpensive online reference service, demonstrating the features of LibAnswers from the perspectives of both the user and the librarian. It will include question submissions from both online form and the SMS texting module &ndash\; how each is answered &ndash\; and the statistical and analytical features offered by the system. Finally, Benjamin Turner will discuss Quick Response (QR). In this session, you will learn about Quick Response (QR) codes, which can be embedded in library signage, handouts and other printed material, and which will direct users of mobile devices to pertinent Web resources, such as subject guides, contact information, and instructional videos and podcasts.
\n	
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n	&bull\; Learn about the importance of adding discovery layers and tools to library resources
\n	&bull\; Be familiar with the features and operation of the LibAnswers online reference service
\n	&bull\; Learn how to create and read QR codes and understand how libraries are currently using them

\n	This one-day workshop focuses on preparing and writing grants for digitization and/or preservation projects. Since most digitization and preservation grants are funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the session is based upon those particular granting entities&#39\; requirements. The instructor will discuss matching your institution&#39\;s project with the appropriate funding agency and preparing to write a proposal.&nbsp\;Developing proposals for state, local and foundation funding sources will also be addressed.&nbsp\;The majority of the day will be spent covering the elements of a grant proposal and practicing writing and reviewing those elements.
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	&bull\; Understand how to establish a grants program
\n	&bull\; Plan the grant proposal process including proposal writing, grant review, and grant management
\n	&bull\; Develop the elements of a grant proposal
\n	&bull\; Match projects to funding sources
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, archivists, and information professionals interested in learning about grant-funded opportunities for collection digitization and preservation

\n	
\n		This hands-on class provides students with a unified method for accessing the usability of digital information. While specific attention will be given to the usability of information on the web, the principles covered will apply to other media as well. The capacity to transfer usability skills (both thinking and doing) to your everyday life in general and your career in particular are our top priorities. Topics covered will include cognitive usability, affective usability, interaction usability, and visual design usability. The process for constructing a formal usability test and dealing with usability contractors will also be discussed.
\n		
\n		By the end of this program, participants will:
\n		&bull\; Have the skills to conduct usability assessments on their own
\n		&bull\; Have the knowledge to develop plans and conduct formal usability testing with their customers
\n		&bull\; Understand the benefits and risks of engaging with consultants on usability-related projects

DESCRIPTION:--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.\nEvent details subject to change. ---\nhttp://metro.org/events/32/\n\nEvent Title: Back From the Endangered List: Using Authority Data to Enhance the Semantic Web\nStart Date / Time: Feb 09, 2011 13:00 PM US/Eastern\nLocation: METRO Training Center (4th floor)\nSpeaker: Jeff Young, Richard Wallis, and Murtha Baca\nGoogle\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=57+E.+11th+Street,New York,NY,10003\n\nForecast\nhttp://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/10003\n\n
\n	Librarian use of authority files dates back to Callimachus and the Great Library of Alexandria around 300 BC. With the evolution of powerful computerized searching and retrieval systems, authority data appears to some to have outlived its usefulness. However, the Semantic Web provides an opportunity to use authority data to enable computers to search, aggregate, and combine information on the Web. Join us at METRO for this webinar screening and learn about the services that can result when the rich data included in name authority files, and other standardized vocabularies are linked via the Semantic Web.&nbsp\; This webinar will feature three speakers:
\n	
\n	&bull\; Jeff Young, Software Architect, OCLC Research - &quot\;Linking Things and the Virtual International Authority File&quot\;
\n	&nbsp\;Is &quot\;NISO&quot\; a &quot\;controlled access point&quot\; or an &quot\;organization&quot\;? Because different authority agencies disagree on the literal form of the &ldquo\;controlled access point&rdquo\;, the basis for associating them in VIAF must be through a more intuitive concept like &ldquo\;organization&rdquo\;, &ldquo\;person&rdquo\;, &ldquo\;place&rdquo\;, etc. Linked Data encourages us to assign HTTP URIs to these conceptualized resources and to describe them with existing ontologies (e.g. FOAF, SKOS, OWL) to further enhance their reuse outside the library community. With these Linked Data tools, VIAF and its contributors illustrate the potential interplay between centralized and decentralized interoperability of authority information.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	&bull\; Richard Wallis, Technology Evangelist, Talis - &quot\;Authorities as Linked Data Hubs&quot\;
\n	As the Web of Data appears, hubs of information are naturally forming. The Linked Data approach to publishing information is one of reuse and linking to others. It is no surprise therefore that DBpedia [Linked Data derived from Wikipedia] has become one of the most linked to hubs --- not because of the authority of Wikipedia data, but because of the reusable identifiers used to link it. In the same way governments are becoming hubs for identifying schools, locations, departments, laws, etc., the library community has the opportunity to become the respected source for identifiers in this world. What we collectively refer to as authorities have the potential [if published openly, simply, and soon] to become hubs for the linking of library and non-library information across the Web of Data. However, just encoding what we have in RDF and pushing it out there may not be enough. Applying Linked Data principles and approaching it from the data consumers&#39\; point of view will help the continuation of the centuries old library mission into a Semantic Web future.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	&bull\; Murtha Baca, Head, Digital Art History Access, Getty Research Institute - &quot\;The Getty Vocabularies: &#39\;Non-Authoritarian&#39\; Authority Files for Art, Architecture, and Material Culture&quot\;
\n	For more than two decades, the Getty Vocabulary Program, a unit of the Getty Research Institute (GRI), has been building electronic thesauri containing structured terminology for art, architecture, decorative arts and other material culture, archival materials, visual surrogates, and bibliographic materials. Compliant with international standards, the Art &amp\; Architecture Thesaurus (AAT&reg\;), Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN&reg\;), and Union List of Artist Names (ULAN&reg\;) provide authoritative information for catalogers and researchers, and can be used to enhance search and retrieval in databases and Web sites. The Getty Vocabularies grow through contributions from their constituent communities. The Getty Vocabulary Program is a participant in VIAF. The newest Getty vocabulary, currently in development, is CONA&trade\; (Cultural Objects Name Authority), a structured vocabulary containing authority records for cultural works, including architecture and movable works such as paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, manuscripts, photographs, textiles, ceramics, furniture, other visual media such as frescoes and architectural sculpture, performance art, archaeological artifacts, and various functional objects that are from the realm of material culture and of the type collected by museums.

\n	Web frameworks [1] are a great facilitator for building web projects, allowing the coder to focus on the problem domain by outsourcing common web processing tasks to the framework, and often steering it into a standardized architecture (such as MVC).
\n	
\n	In the code4lib SIG Spring Forum, we will be introducing the web framework, examining symfony (PHP) [2] and Sinatra (Ruby) [3]. symfony is a full-scale MVC framework, while Sinatra is a micro-framework designed for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort.
\n	
\n	After the presentations and Q&amp\;A, there will be time available for lightning talks - attendees will be given the chance to share their framework experiences in 5-minute sessions. We will also facilitate a discussion of Drupal (PHP) [4]. Sharing some of the characteristics of both frameworks and content management systems (CMS), Drupal has also found much use in the library world.

\n	Is building a digital collection enough? What comes next? How do we guarantee long-term access? Can we afford to do this?These and other issues will be considered in this workshop designed for both librarians and archivists interested in creating or maintaining digitization projects within their institutions. The first part of the workshop will be dedicated to establishing a purpose, perspective and strategy for your digital project so that it has the best chances for community impact and success.

\n	As media change, information changes, and so must the people working with it. Information architecture (IA), and by extension interaction design (IxD), are the foundations of librarianship. This has always been so. Understanding new mediums of communication and their advantage and disadvantages for encapsulating information has always been a primary responsibility of information professionals.&nbsp\; Using a case study methodology, this workshop will introduce participants to the field of IA/IxD. We will begin by reviewing the perceptual model necessary for thinking and working with IA/IxD. We will then apply this model to the process of IA/IxD by reviewing a case study from start to finish. We will conclude with an in-class exercise that tests our understanding of the perceptual model and our capacity to employ it.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	This workshop is intended for innovative professionals at any level. Whether you aspire to IA/IxD, or anticipate hiring IA/IxD employees or consultants, this workshop will provide participants with a solid foundation for understanding, and working with the relationship between, information and its mediation using digital technologies.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	-&nbsp\; Have developed the core leadership skills necessary for working with IA&rsquo\;s/IxD consultants and employees
\n	-&nbsp\; Have learned the perceptual model required for understanding and working with IA/IxD
\n	-&nbsp\; Know the core language used within IA/IxD
\n	-&nbsp\; Become familiar with the framework for doing IA/IxD

\n	Released in June 2010, Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the intended successor to the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2). While we await an adoption decision resulting from the U.S. National Libraries&rsquo\; RDA Testing, RDA records are still being contributed to cooperative cataloging databases\; it will be important for catalogers to begin to understand the basic differences between RDA bibliographic and authority records. Through the use of real-life cataloging examples, this METRO webinar will provide an entry-level introduction to aspects of RDA records that differ from AACR2, and what catalogers should expect to see in RDA records generally.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Everyone is welcome, but particularly catalogers and managers of technical services operations who require an entry-level introduction to major changes between AACR2 and RDA\; there are no prerequisites.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	have a better understanding of some of the major changes between AACR2 and RDA metadata, including:
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; - main conceptual differences between AACR2 and RDA, and how those differences manifest themselves in the metadata
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; - content types, media types, and carrier types
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; - expressing relationships
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; - what you will encounter in authority records
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; - OCLC policies on editing or creating RDA records

\n	Released in June 2010, Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the intended successor to the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2). Having now completed the U.S. National Library&rsquo\; RDA Test, we know a little more about the impact that RDA will have on library staff, metadata production, systems, and services. One thing is clear: adopting RDA will not happen immediately, and will not be uniform across all institutions. Over the coming months and years, libraries will have different timeframes and levels of support for the shift to RDA. Administrators will require accurate information, particularly from early adopters, on what is required to implement the new cataloging code. This METRO webinar will inform library administrators and cataloging managers on how to begin thinking about preparing staff and systems for the transition from AACR2 to RDA.

\n	The Linked Open Data project has exceeded 200 very large datasets within two years. Among them are a growing number of datasets provided by libraries and archives, the data.gov dataset of the U.S. government which host the largest open collections of RDF datasets in the world, as well as large media&rsquo\;s resources (e.g., BBC, New York Times), social sciences, publications, and scientific datasets.&nbsp\; The Linked Data movement is about using the Web to connect related data formerly isolated in small or large repositories (often called &ldquo\;silos&rdquo\;) and not previously linked. Linked Data is also about using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods.&nbsp\; This workshop aims to help open our minds and eyes to reach a much more diverse data universe, and to consider more effectively providing services to library users through enhancing metadata services of&nbsp\; digital collections with Linked Data technologies and resources .&nbsp\; The workshop will explain the principles, concepts, and the potential usage of the Linked Data in libraries of all sizes.&nbsp\; It will not cover technical implementation topics.

\n	The VRA Core is a metadata standard for the description of images and works of art and culture.&nbsp\; The standard is hosted by the Library of Congress Network Development and MARC Standards Office in partnership with the Visual Resources Association. Our workshop will cover the overall benefits of using the VRA Core in order to ensure streamlined inputting of crucial information about works and images and to improve searching and user understanding.&nbsp\; Participants will have an opportunity to learn and experience best practices for cultural cataloguing using VRA Core and related standards, such as Cataloging Cultural Objects.&nbsp\; The workshop introduces participants to the major aspects of VRA Core including:&nbsp\; the basic element set, the use of authorities and controlled vocabularies, and the VRA Core schema for sharable metadata. Focusing on the decision-making process for creating descriptions, the workshop agenda includes real-life examples, presentations, and group exercises. The instructor will gather workshop participant questions and topics of concern ahead of time.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Cataloguers and collection managers who deal with cultural materials in image archives, museums, and digital libraries.&nbsp\; This workshop assumes that the participant has little or no familiarity with VRA Core but has some familiarity with descriptive practice.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	&bull\; understand the conceptual model of the VRA Core
\n	&bull\; know how the VRA Core relates to other metadata standards
\n	&bull\; learn about diverse cataloging situations for cultural materials
\n	&bull\; be able to apply the basic elements of VRA Core practice

\n	Increased user demand for online content and wider acceptance of digitization as a preservation action requires librarians and archivists to become familiar with how copyright law intersects with their digital project planning. This workshop approaches copyright from the collections and project management perspective. An overview of Section 108 and how to analyze underlying or third-party rights in textual, visual, audio, and moving image content will be discussed. Metadata that can be captured as part of the legal due diligence process will be described in context so the purpose of the metadata is clear.

	Increased user demand for online content and wider acceptance of digitization as a preservation action requires librarians and archivists to become familiar with how copyright law intersects with their digital project planning. This workshop approaches copyright from the collections and project management perspective. An overview of Section 108 and how to analyze underlying or third-party rights in textual, visual, audio, and moving image content will be discussed. Metadata that can be captured as part of the legal due diligence process will be described in context so the purpose of the metadata is clear. We will perform exercises with common digital project scenarios.</div>

\n
\n	After two decades of continuous library technology increases and a budget crisis that has affected nearly every library in the world, we are left with the question: what will the library of the future look like?&nbsp\; We have seen huge cuts in expensive brick and mortar spaces and collections, in-person services and programming, and other face-to-face library services.&nbsp\; At the same time, we are finally realizing the high return on investment for library web, mobile, hardware, and software services.&nbsp\; The budget crisis may force us to face our inefficiencies and drastically re-engineer our services and the way we provide those services to our customers.&nbsp\; The legacy system is burning down all around us.&nbsp\; What will emerge from the ashes?
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	People interested in finding out what digital services libraries can build upon to better serve their communities now and in the future.
\n

\n	Recommender Systems: Investigating the Impact of Recommendations on User Choices and Behaviors
\n	Recommender systems have been used in many information systems, helping users handle information overload by providing users with a way to receive specific recommendations that fulfill their information seeking needs.&nbsp\; Research in this area has been focused on the recommender system algorithms and improving the core technology so that recommendations are robust.&nbsp\; However, little research is focused on the user-centered perspective of recommendations provided by recommender systems and the impact of recommendations on user&rsquo\;s information behaviors.&nbsp\; In this paper, we describe the results of an exploratory survey study on a book recommender system, LibraryThing, and the impact of recommendations on user choices, particularly what users do as a result of getting a recommendation.&nbsp\; Based on survey respondents, our results indicate that users prefer member recommendations rather than the algorithm-based automatic recommendations and about two third of users that responded are influenced by the recommendations in their various information activities.

\n	Digital Asset Preservation as a Risk Management Process
\n	A collection of digital assets [e.g. text, images, audio/video, data, etc.] can be viewed as analogous to a portfolio of financial assets. As such, ways of looking at risk drawn from the financial markets sector are translatable and applicable to collections of digital assets. This presentation will introduce a digital preservation decision-making model based on three components: value, vulnerability and cost. The value of digital assets can be assessed and articulated in alignment with an organization&rsquo\;s strategic objectives. Their vulnerability can be expressed as a combination of the probability of &ldquo\;bad&rdquo\; events and the severity of their impacts. Value and vulnerability assessments are used to display a digital asset collection&rsquo\;s initial risk profile of as well as the profiles that result from implementing different digital preservation strategies. This graphic tool can help make the case for an investment in digital preservation consistent with a defined level of risk tolerance.

\n	The HackLibSchool Experiment
\n	HackLibSchool is a collaborative project that developed out of a perceived need for greater connections between LIS students as they transition from school to professional life. Beginning in October of 2010 as a publically-edited Google Doc, &ldquo\;HackLibSchool&rdquo\; quickly became a cross-institutional mantra, inspiring conversations on topics from pedagogy and curriculum in LIS to the practical experiences of life as a library school student. In its current incarnation HackLibSchool is a group blog featuring editors/bloggers representing 7 different schools, open submissions for guest authors, and ongoing critical discussions on education in library and information science. Micah Vandegrift, who created and manages the HackLibSchool experiment, will discuss the intricacies of it including inspirations, development, and future ideas.

\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	This Two-Day intensive workshop is designed to teach beginners how to use XML in the library environment, with a focus on using the language for resource description, metadata management and electronic text encoding. The syntax, characteristics, terminologies, associated standards, and some important XML applications, will be taught through step-by-step examples, from basic level to intermediate level. Explanation and elaboration will come along whenever you encounter new concepts. Day 1 is a general introduction including basic syntax of XML, DTD (Document Type Definition) and CSS (Cascade Style Sheet language). Day 2 will focus on the W3C XML schema language and the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). We will use metadata schemes like Dubin Core and MODS as examples to demonstrate real XML application in the library world.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Catalogers, technical services librarians, electronic resources librarians, and others interested in the use of XML for metadata organization and text encoding. Participants should be familiar with basic HTML, but no prior knowledge in XML or programming is required.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Understand the critical roles that XML can play in the development of cataloging and classification strategies and practices in the digital library environment
\n	- Understand the importance of DTD (document type definition) and XML Schema for metadata structuring and text encoding in a digital librarian environment.
\n	- Create XML documents associated DTD and XML Schema commonly used in the digital library environment.
\n	- Use stylesheets (using CSS and XSLT) to control metadata and narrative text presentation in the web environment.

\n	Many libraries don&#39\;t have a dedicated web services staff, much less a single dedicated webmaster. This session is for those libraries struggling to provide innovative web services with little resources to devote to staff, software, or hardware. The articles and blog posts about Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 can sometimes seem impossible to implement in smaller, poorer, and/or under-technology- staffed libraries. But we too can offer excellent online services to our users! Take advantage of the quick and free services that any library can add to its website with minimal time or expertise. This session will cover twenty easy steps that libraries can take to improve their websites with ease. If your library hasn&#39\;t yet implemented the newest and greatest technologies on its website but wants to, this is the session for you.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Library staff responsible for or interested in providing more extensive web services through their digital branches, with little or no resources or formal technology support.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	1) Have a list of tools to help them create a better digital branch
\n	2) Understand the pros and cons of various tools and services
\n	3) Know where to find new tools as they emerge

\n	File-based media collections are presenting new challenges to traditional approaches of asset management and preservation. Especially in smaller institutions with less IT support, archivists need to take a more active role in the care and management of digital materials. This workshop introduces digital collection caretakers to utilities and processes that will help them perform routine archival tasks in the file-based domain. Activities will include creating and validating checksums\; entering, editing, reviewing, parsing and using embedded metadata\; identifying file characteristics and attributes\; discussion of wrappers and codecs\; and discussion of obsolescence monitoring and normalization.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n	Archivists, librarians, and collection managers who work in small institutions with file-based collections. Workshop will primarily focus on audiovisual materials. Attendees should have basic understanding of running applications, managing files, and differences between file formats.

\n	If content on analog videotape is to survive for the long term, the tapes must be digitized &#8208\;&#8208\;moved from the unstable magnetic media on which the content is currently held, into the digital realm where &#8208\;&#8208\;in theory &#8208\;&#8208\;they can be preserved indefinitely and migrated forward as files rather than physical objects. Digitization, however, means more than simply selecting a destination file format. It requires a series of decisions that will determine the long&#8208\;term viability of files created &#8208\;&#8208\;and thus of the valuable video content. Workshop topics include: basic digital file creation, preservation and access file formats and codecs, software, storage and trusted digital repositories, workflows for digitization, and technical and preservation metadata. In addition, participants will examine case studies of small and large&#8208\;scale digitization projects in order to understand real&#8208\;world applications of principles introduced in the workshop.

\n	Web users spend an average of 8&ndash\;10 seconds and three clicks on your Web site looking for what they need before they get frustrated and click away. Whether you are developing a new Web site or redesigning an existing one, it is imperative to determine an intuitive and usable navigational structure and taxonomy for your user community. Card sorting is a technique used in the information architecture field to determine a classification scheme that speaks to your user population. Discover how to use this quick and inexpensive technique to understand how your users think about your Web site and its content. Learn how to run both an open and a closed card sort, analyze the results, and make recommendations based on your data. This workshop explores both online and offline card-sorting techniques as well as analysis software. Make sure your information is findable and increase usability by involving your users in the process of designing your Web site &mdash\; they will thank you for it!
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, library administrators, information professinals, or students at any level who are interested in usability studies, information architecture, taxonomy development, or website design.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	Know how to implement a card sort from start to finish.

\n	Metadata has a number of practical applications beyond search and retrieval. When dealing with legacy and digital audiovisual materials, the array of technical, relational, administrative, rights, and preservation related metadata fields present a great deal of utility in the management, distribution, and monitoring of materials. This workshop offers training and tips in the capture and use of metadata for managing audiovisual collections, including the requirements one must address when selecting schemas, maintaining quality and authenticity through reformatting and long-term storage, planning and implementing preservation efforts, and low-cost utilities available for working with metadata embedded in files.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n	Archivists, librarians, and collection managers who work with audiovisual and file-based collections. This workshop is designed to instruct in the practical application of metadata and is not an introduction to general concepts or an overview of standards.

\n	This is a two-day workshop.&nbsp\; By registering on this page, you also register to attend the second part on Wednesday, July 13th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	It is almost unimaginable for an interactive, dynamic, and fully functional web site or digital library to be designed and built without using server-side technologies. The real power behind Web applications ultimately resides on the server side. PHP is among the most popular server-side technologies because of its flexibility, power and reliability. This two-day intensive, hands-on workshop will provide a general introduction to web programming using PHP.&nbsp\; The instructor will use a hands-on approach to teach the basic concepts and many techniques that are commonly used in web programming step by step.&nbsp\;
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	System librarians, electronic resources librarians, web masters, and others interested in using server-side technologies to develop dynamic web sites, online databases, small digital library projects, and content management systems.
\n
\n	Participants should be familiar with basic HTML and CSS. Prior knowledge in programming and database construction will help, but is not required.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	Be able to create simple dynamic web applications using PHP. The instructor will set up individual servers for students to create and test their PHP codes. After the workshop, students can continue to use the servers for practice through the Internet for two weeks. To provide time for the instructor to set up your server, please enroll one week before the workshop.

\n	What happens to our rights as readers when books go digital? Librarian Alycia Sellie and technologist Matthew Goins will challenge the status quo of book digitization and argue that a careless migration to electronic books may destroy well-established rights that readers have held historically with print. More than just an issue of convenience, this talk will examine restrictive licensing agreements and closed technologies used in current digitization projects and outline alternatives.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians who are considering acquiring ebooks for their collections, those concerned about digital restrictions, and professionals who interested to learn more about how ebooks--both in library and personal collections--function and are managed. Anyone interested in the role of the library in the age of electronic books.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	Have a greater understanding of the current landscape of book digitization, and understand how digital restrictions affect our right to read.

\n	Brian and Lauren (Hunter College, CUNY) will report on a novel assessment tool they use to measure student learning in a one-credit research course. Given that information literacy involves mastering a research process which engages higher-order cognitive skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, they decided to create a set of more performative pre- and post-assessments that would capture a student&rsquo\;s research process: podcast narrations of student&rsquo\;s research strategy on a specific subject. Their findings suggest that student-created podcasts can be beneficial in that instructors can see if learning objectives are being met, and students can see evidence of their own learning by listening to the podcasts.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Robin and Zhanna (Borough of Manhattan Community College) will focus on a model of information literacy instruction that is based on an ongoing collaboration between an Information Literacy librarian and a College Composition instructor. The model includes increased library instruction time and an effort to revise the College Composition II curriculum to include information literacy goals. This model also allows for additional student-librarian contact and promotes students&rsquo\; more active use of library resources. &nbsp\;
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	This session will include time for networking and light refreshments.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, faculty members, and administrators interested learning about innovative approaches to library literacy and instruction
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Learn about a new approach to student learning assessment for library instruction
\n	- Learn about a successful model for library and instructor collaboration

\n	This 4-day workshop is an introduction to the history, identification, and preservation of photographic materials. Participants will acquire hands-on identification skills and learn practical photograph preservation techniques. Using handheld 60x microscopes and a large set of photographic and photomechanical samples, they will learn how a variety of processes were created, why they look the way they do, and how they deteriorate. Knowledge about photographic processes is essential to their preservation and leads to a greater appreciation of the aesthetics and history of photographic prints. Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines, environmental monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative humidity on collections, and the importance of cold storage for certain photographic materials. Processes examined in detail include but are not limited to the following: daguerreotype, albumen, collodion and gelatin printing-out processes (POP), matte collodion, gelatin silver, photogravure, offset litho, letterpress halftone, collotype, chromogenic color, inkjet, and dye sublimation. Group ID sessions, using a digital microscope and screen projection, will allow participants to practice their identification skills in a guided setting.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Archivists, curators, collection managers, special collections librarians, conservators, and many others can benefit from this workshop.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Be able to identify a range of photographic processes
\n
\n	- Understand, be able to describe, and know how to prevent various types of photograph deterioration.
\n
\n	- Be able to more accurately date a photograph using the material evidence such as process and format.

\n
\n	
\n	First up is &quot\;Back to the Future: Reference in a Post-Virtual World&quot\; - How have you (and your library) incorporated VR into your reference philosophies?

\n
\n	Next is &quot\;Modern Times: Updating Reference Interviews to Include Open Access,&quot\; wherein we share best practices for integrating OA information into our reference work.

\n	Over forty years after the invention of email as a transformative communication mechanism, relatively few institutions have developed policies, implementation strategies, procedures, tools and services that systematically preserve email records holding long-term legal, administrative, cultural or historical value. Many barriers seem to block effective action, but an examination of recent literature and projects reveals that significant progress has been achieved in developing the policy, organizational and technical systems that can comprise an effective email preservation program.&nbsp\; This session will outline practical steps than any institution can take to get started with email preservation, offering specific recommendations for organizational leaders, IT professionals, librarians and archivists who are seeking to preserve email.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, archivists, information technologists or anyone interested in preserving email.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Be able to identify the major issues impeding email preservation
\n
\n	- List standards and technologies useful for capturing, storing, and providing access to email messages
\n
\n	- Make basic decisions regarding the implementation of an email preservation program.

\n			Digitizing Workhorse Collections:&nbsp\; The Benefits and Obstacles of Digitizing Heavily Used Collections
\n	
\n	
\n		&nbsp\;
\n	
\n		Most Institutions have at least one &ldquo\;workhorse&rdquo\; collection, meaning that it is heavily used, and needs to be readily accessible to the public.&nbsp\; These collections are often large and digitization can be expensive and more complex.&nbsp\; A &ldquo\;workhorse&rdquo\; collection might not be the most visually appealing or unique but it is the most useful to a larger population, and gets the most use.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; For example, &ldquo\;The Brooklyn Daily Eagle&rdquo\; Newspaper Collection is a widely used historic newspaper collection in Brooklyn.&nbsp\; The newspaper is only digitized from 1841- 1902, and the newspaper collection runs until 1955.&nbsp\; The funds for digitization were received from grant money and the digitization was outsourced.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Newspaper digitizing is also more complex, but highly beneficial when accomplished because it is widely used.&nbsp\;
\n	
\n		&nbsp\;
\n	
\n		This session will focus on the challenges and benefits of digitizing a &ldquo\;workhorse&rdquo\; collection, including the various types of formats, the more complex digitization processes, the costs, and how to secure more grants funding for the project.

\n		Scott Collard, Social Sciences Collections Coordinator and Librarian for Education and Linguistics at New York University&rsquo\;s Bobst Library, will give a presentation about graduate student services at NYU: &ldquo\;Over the past several years, university libraries have been discussing the need for the provision of specialized services, spaces, and instructional programming for graduate students. &nbsp\;When considering graduate students&#39\; library needs, there has been a concentration on designing graduate student spaces, creating technology and service infrastructure to support graduate student needs, and deploying student-centered instructional programming. &nbsp\;In the past six years, a number of studies have reported data on graduate student library use to recommend how libraries can better serve these users. At NYU, we&#39\;ve been working over the past four years to increase our capacity to deliver services and spaces to support highly diverse, evolving, and growing populations of graduate students. This presentation will present an overview of some of the approaches we have taken, the precepts that underlie our approach, and a discussion of some of the results we are seeing from these interventions.&rdquo\;

\n	Metadata has become a key piece in managing and discovering information resources in the digital environment. This event is intended for professionals and students who are interested in learning about the current and future metadata environment in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. The presenter will briefly review metadata standards and applications with a particular focus on digital resources and describe how they are changing as the availability of data on the Internet has exploded and new methods of finding resources have emerged. The program will highlight trends in the metadata arena, particularly focusing on descriptive and technical metadata standards and how changes might affect institutions creating and maintaining metadata for library and other resources.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, archivists, and museum professionals who create or maintain metadata for their resources as well as students seeking to learn more about the use of metadata
\n
\n	&nbsp\;

\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Gain an understanding of the changes in cataloging rules (RDA) and the bibliographic format (MARC) and how they might affect the metadata environment
\n	- Explore types of metadata and their importance especially in management of information resources
\n	- Understand how the Semantic Web and Linked Data enhance interoperability among metadata standards and how these new technologies might be relevant to cultural heritage institutions

\n	To preserve digital content for the long term requires the preserving institution to know key pieces of technical and structural information about the data.&nbsp\; Preservation metadata is the information you need to know to manage, use, and understand your valuable digital assets into the future. This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, the key standard in this area, and how it is being implemented world-wide.&nbsp\; Topics will include an introduction to the PREMIS data model, an examination of the Data Dictionary, and its implementation in XML and METS within the context of&nbsp\; larger digital library issues. Current trends in PREMIS implementations will be covered, including its use as Linked Data in the Semantic Web. A review of selected implementations will highlight use cases and issues for preservation planners to consider. There will be ample time for open discussion of implementation issues. Participants already using PREMIS are encouraged to&nbsp\; contribute by presenting information about their own implementations and issues encountered.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Librarians, archivists and others interested in implementing metadata for the long-term management and preservation of their digital information, or those already involved in planning an implementation.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	- Understand the need for preservation metadata for long-term preservation of digital objects
\n	- Understand the PREMIS Data Model and how it applies to management of digital objects
\n	- Gain a knowledge of the semantic units in the PREMIS Data Dictionary and how they apply to different categories of digital assets
\n	- Be able to consider issues that an institution might encounter in its collection and management of preservation metadata
\n	- Become familiar with a number of use cases, which will assist implementers in planning their own use of preservation metadata

\n	This is a full-day workshop that includes hands-on encoding experience. The workshop will begin with a brief introduction to EAD, its applications, and its relationship to other standards (LCSH, DACS, etc.). After learning about the basic structure of an EAD document and the elements required by DACS for minimum-level description, participants will use an EAD template to encode a basic finding aid. The afternoon will be spent working with common tags such as those needed to create an inventory list. By the end of the session, each participant will be able to render his or her own finding aid in a web browser using an XSL stylesheet that will be provided. Other topics that will be covered include project workflow, best practices, ways EAD is being used, and additional tools and resources for getting started.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Individuals with no or limited experience working with EAD. Participants should be familiar with basic archival practices such as collection processing and finding aid structure.

DESCRIPTION:--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.\nEvent details subject to change. ---\nhttp://metro.org/events/142/\n\nEvent Title: Webinar: Moving the Front Lines Online - Embedding Reference Librarians in Online Classes\nStart Date / Time: Feb 14, 2012 14:00 PM US/Eastern\nLocation: Online\nSpeaker: April Becker\n
\n	Students are not always aware of the resources available through the library, so embedding a librarian into an online course module to assist in navigating databases and locating, evaluating, and citing the best sources for projects can be an invaluable support service. In this 2-hour class, learn how the embedded program began at the instructor&#39\;s institution, how it works on a daily basis, how it&#39\;s grown in the past couple of years, and how to implement an embedded program at your own library.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	
\n		Learning Objectives:
\n	
\n		* Librarians will understand how the embedded program started and how it works on a daily basis.
\n		* Librarians will identify best practices and share new ideas for the embedded program.
\n		*Librarians will begin to develop an embedded program for their institutions.
\n		&nbsp\;
\n	
\n		Target Audience:
\n	
\n		Suited for any librarian at an institution that uses course management software (like Blackboard or WebCT), especially relevant to academic librarians.
\n
\n
\n	This class is designed for individual participation\; each individual must register. This class is a $130 value, brought to you by the NY3Rs Association, Inc. at a cost of only $10, if you are a member of one of the nine regional councils.

\n	These are tough times, but librarians, archivists and other information professionals possess many marketable skills that may be easily adapted to access, organize and unlock the value within the paper, digital and knowledge information assets for their organization or their clients.&nbsp\;
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	The workshop offers practical advice to help information professionals assess and expand their existing skill sets and develop new areas of expertise to broaden their career potential, maximize their earnings in their current position or gain that competitive edge for landing their next job.&nbsp\;
\n
\n	
\n	In this first session we will identify and discuss those skill sets that are in the greatest demand in the library/information world.&nbsp\; The presenters will also examine alternative jobs and potential career paths for librarians and information professionals contemplating a career change or transitioning into a non-traditional role.&nbsp\; Workshop attendees will develop their own customized action plan to identify, augment and acquire those new skills that will provide their ticket to expanded career growth, increased compensation and greater career satisfaction.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	By the end of this program, participants will:
\n
\n	&#9679\; Learn how to leverage their existing skills and experience or how to acquire new skill sets to improve their marketability, bolster their current work situation or take their career in a whole new direction.
\n
\n	&#9679\; Devise a strategy to capitalize on new opportunities within their current employment situation, secure a new position or hone their skills to maximize their value in any organizational setting.
\n
\n	&#9679\; Explore the many opportunities open to librarians/information professionals and&nbsp\;know how to prepare for an alternative career and land a highly desirable job.
\n
\n	&#9679\; Develop a customized, personal action plan to assure continued employment or pursue new career opportunities commensurate with that participant&rsquo\;s existing talents and expertise.&nbsp\;
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	Who should attend:
\n
\n	Any librarian, archivist or other information professional, who is currently unemployed, underemployed or worried about potential layoffs or job security, as well as those who may feel stuck in a rut or a dead-end job with scant chance for advancement.&nbsp\; The workshop will also be extremely beneficial for any library/archive/information professional, who is seeking that next job opportunity or a career change, but fears they lack the right skills or competitive edge for success or advancement.
\n
\n	&nbsp\;
\n
\n	&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Log-in information will be distributed to all registrants via email 1-3 days prior to the webinar. &nbsp\;All registrants will have access to an archived recording of the webinar within a week after the live session.

\n&nbsp\;LOD-LAM-NYC: A Day of Linked Data Discussion &amp\; Activities for the New York Metropolitan Area
\n
\n
\n&nbsp\;
\nFollowing the success of the LOD-LAM Summit&nbsp\;http://lod-lam.net/summit/&nbsp\;in June, 2011, discussions of Cultural Heritage Linked Data have continued at a variety of Regional LOD-LAM (Linked Open Data for Libraries, Archives, and Museums) events. These events, characterized by their "Unconference" style and focus on cutting edge Semantic Web technologies, have continued to further the goals defined in the&nbsp\;World Wide Web Consortiums Library Linked Data Incubator Report&nbsp\;and the various outputs of the&nbsp\;Stanford Linked Data Workshop.  Continuing this conversation, we would like to announce LOD-LAM-NYC, two related events that add up to a day of Linked Data discussions for the Cultural Heritage Sector in the NY Metropolitan Area. The event will be comprised of two separate sessions, a morning plenary, and a smaller afternoon "hands-on" workshop (click here for more info). Registration is required for each.
\n&nbsp\;

\nThe morning sessions - located in the South Court Auditorium -&nbsp\;will introduce the topic of Linked Open Data, including a high-level discussion of relevant technologies, best practices and current trends. This plenary is intended for a general audience and will feature:
\n
\n A Panel Discussion and Q&amp\;A with Todd Carter (Tagasauris), Corey Harper (NYU Libraries), Evan Sandhaus (NY Times Research &amp\; Development) Seth van Hooland (Universit&eacute\; Libre de Bruxelles), Erik&nbsp\;Mannes (Ghent University - IBBT),&nbsp\; and Rebecca Guenther&nbsp\;(Library Consultant, formerly Library of Congress).

Schwarzman Building\nSpeaker: \nGoogle\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=Fifth+Avenue+at+42nd+Street,New York,NY,10018\n\nForecast\nhttp://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/10018\n\nLOD-LAM-NYC: A Day of Linked Data Discussion &amp\; Activities for the New York Metropolitan Area.
\n Following the success of the LOD-LAM Summit&nbsp\;http://lod-lam.net/summit/&nbsp\;in June, 2011, discussions of Cultural Heritage Linked Data have continued at a variety of Regional LOD-LAM (Linked Open Data for Libraries, Archives, and Museums) events. These events, characterized by their "Unconference" style and focus on cutting edge Semantic Web technologies, have continued to further the goals defined in the&nbsp\;World Wide Web Consortiums Library Linked Data Incubator Report&nbsp\;and the various outputs of the&nbsp\;Stanford Linked Data Workshop.  Continuing this conversation, we would like to announce LOD-LAM-NYC, two related events that add up to a day of Linked Data discussions for the Cultural Heritage Sector in the NY Metropolitan Area. The event will be comprised of two separate sessions, a morning plenary (click here for more info), and a smaller afternoon "hands-on" workshop. Registration is required for each.
\n&nbsp\;
\n12:00 PM - 1:30 PM&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Break for Lunch

\n&nbsp\;
\nThe afternoon session - located in the Margaret Liebman Berger Forum -&nbsp\;is designed for metadata experts, application developers, and others interested in exploring Linked Data in practice. By the end of the session, you will have worked with a dataset, used free, available tools, and will be equipped to continue developing these skill independently. Though the session will move quickly, technical experience is not a prerequisite.&nbsp\;  The afternoon session will feature:

\nWho should attend: Librarians, archivists, and information professionals interested in learning about grant-funded opportunities for collection digitization and preservation
\n&nbsp\;
\nBy the end of this program, participants will: - Understand how to establish a grants program

\n&nbsp\;
\nHow can librarians and archivists keep up with the soaring demand for content findability within their growing digital collections?&nbsp\; This is something many search engines have not yet caught up with.&nbsp\; However, by publishing data on the web as Linked Data, the web appears as a giant global database.&nbsp\; As a result, some museums, libraries, and other data repositories are turning towards crowdsourcing, semantic technologies and linked data solutions, inviting volunteers to assist them with everything from transcribing rare archival documents, to annotating images and geographical datasets.
\n&nbsp\;
\nThis panel will address the challenges and benefits of launching linked data and digital crowdsourcing projects, and panelists will discuss ways that sharing this type of knowledge work with the general public serves their institutions and changes the ways that staff interact with their public.
\n&nbsp\;
\nTopics addressed will include:
\n- Improving access to and visibility of sources for researchers

<div>&nbsp\;</div>
<div><span style="color: #000000\;">How can librarians and archivists keep up with the soaring demand for content findability within their growing digital collections?&nbsp\; This is something many search engines have not yet caught up with.&nbsp\; However, by publishing data on the web as Linked Data, the web appears as a giant global database.&nbsp\; As a result, some museums, libraries, and other data repositories are turning towards crowdsourcing, semantic technologies and linked data solutions, inviting volunteers to assist them with everything from transcribing rare archival documents, to annotating images and geographical datasets.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp\;</div>
<div><span style="color: #000000\;">This panel will address the challenges and benefits of launching linked data and digital crowdsourcing projects, and panelists will discuss ways that sharing this type of knowledge work with the general public serves their institutions and changes the ways that staff interact with their public.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp\;</div>
<div><span style="color: #000000\;">Topics addressed will include:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000\;">- Improving access to and visibility of sources for researchers</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000\;">- Workflow and platforms</span></div>

\n&nbsp\;
\nThe workshop offers practical advice to help information professionals assess and expand their existing skill sets and develop new areas of expertise to broaden their career potential, maximize their earnings in their current position or gain that competitive edge for landing their next job.&nbsp\;
\n In this follow-up session, we will explore a variety of settings outside the library realm where information professionals are working and thriving.&nbsp\; The presenters will draw upon their own experiences and present case studies of former librarians who have made the leap into an alternative career.&nbsp\; The presenters will identify the many &ldquo\;personas&rdquo\; used by the most successful librarians/information professionals in our profession.&nbsp\; Workshop attendees will develop their talking points, &ldquo\;elevator speech&rdquo\; and other communication skills that will help them get to &ldquo\;yes&rdquo\; and consistently prove their value to their organization.
\n&nbsp\;
\nBy the end of this program, participants will: ● Learn how to continually reinvent themselves and adapt and thrive within the tsunami of change that is sweeping the library/information profession.
\n●&nbsp\;Be able to&nbsp\;envision their path to advancement with success stories of other librarians/information professionals who have made the leap or become a &ldquo\;front runner&rdquo\; or leader in our profession.
\n● Learn new methods and ideas they can deploy to increase their marketability and turn the perilous winds of change into a career growth opportunity.&nbsp\; The workshop leaders will teach participants how to consistently demonstrate their value to their organization to assure their success.
\n● Know how to maximize their chances of success when interacting with colleagues and the gatekeepers within their organizations.&nbsp\; Attendees will develop convincing talking points and an &ldquo\;elevator speech&rdquo\; that will assure their success in any situation.&nbsp\; Participants will learn how to use these tools to get buy-in and get to &ldquo\;yes&rdquo\; as quickly and often as possible.
\n&nbsp\;
\nWho should attend:
\nAny librarian, archivist or other information professional, who is currently unemployed, underemployed or worried about potential layoffs or job security, as well as those who may feel stuck in a rut or a dead-end job with scant chance for advancement.&nbsp\; The workshop will also be extremely beneficial for any library/archive/information professional, who is seeking that next job opportunity or a career change, but fears they lack the right skills or competitive edge for success or advancement.
\n&nbsp\;

MODS for Descriptive Metadata\nStart Date / Time: Mar 20, 2012 10:00 AM US/Eastern\nLocation: METRO Training Center (4th floor)\nSpeaker: Rebecca Guenther\nGoogle\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=57+E.+11th+Street,New York,NY,10003\n\nForecast\nhttp://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/10003\n\nAs digital resources have exploded, the world has recognized the need for tagged metadata, and a number of descriptive metadata formats have emerged. The Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) was developed in the early 2000s as a derivative of the MARC format to provide an XML format that is highly compatible with MARC and maintains much (but not all) of its richness. It has had wide implementation especially in the digital library community as a descriptive metadata schema that allows for minimal data loss from rich MARC catalog records and works well with XML data. This workshop gives an overview of its purpose, design principles, data elements, and how it is being implemented particularly in digital library projects. &nbsp\; Who should attend:
\nLibrarians, archivists, and other information professionals (e.g. in museums) who are implementing new approaches to metadata especially for digital projects.
\n&nbsp\;
\nObjectives: &bull\; To understand how MODS is related to and can be used with MARC &bull\; To understand the design principles of MODS &bull\; To explore the companion format MADS for authority data and see how it works with MODS descriptions &bull\; To gain a knowledge of the main elements and subelements of MODS and how it repackages MARC elements &bull\; To see how MODS works with other metadata formats such as METS, MARC and EAD &bull\; To explore how MODS has been implemented, especially in digital libraries &bull\; To consider future developments for MODS and MADS--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\n\n--- Tendenci(tm) Software by Schipul.com - The Web Marketing Company ---\n

Participants will acquire hands-on identification skills and learn practical photograph preservation techniques. Using handheld 60x microscopes and a large set of photographic and photomechanical samples, they will learn how a variety of processes were created, why they look the way they do, and how they deteriorate. Knowledge about photographic processes is essential to their preservation and leads to a greater appreciation of the aesthetics and history of photographic prints. Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines, environmental monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative humidity on collections, and the importance of cold storage for certain photographic materials. Processes examined in detail include but are not limited to the following: daguerreotype, albumen, collodion and gelatin printing-out processes (POP), matte collodion, gelatin silver, photogravure, offset litho, letterpress halftone, collotype, chromogenic color, inkjet, and dye sublimation. Group ID sessions, using a digital microscope and screen projection, will allow participants to practice their identification skills in a guided setting.
\n Who should attend:
\nArchivists, curators, collection managers, special collections librarians, conservators, and many others can benefit from this workshop.&nbsp\;
\n&nbsp\;
\nBy the end of this program, participants will:
\n- Be able to identify a range of photographic processes
\n- Understand, be able to describe, and know how to prevent various types of photograph deterioration
\n- Be able to more accurately date a photograph using the material evidence such as process and format--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\n\n--- Tendenci(tm) Software by Schipul.com - The Web Marketing Company ---\n

\nCommunicating with Difficult PersonalitiesCommunication skills are very important for staff who provide customer service, be it with the public or colleagues.&nbsp\; When we encounter a difficult personality, it is very important to have the communication skills necessary to make that interaction successful and professional.&nbsp\; This workshop will provide techniques and insights to achieve successful communication interactions.&nbsp\; We will examine the following topics: communicating with difficult behaviours and conflict in a relationship.Downloading eBooks to Mobile DeviceseBooks are in high demand in libraries all over the place.&nbsp\; They can be tricky to use and frustrating for patrons.&nbsp\; This workshop will help you learn how to borrow, download, and read eBooks on different types of eReaders and tablet computers.Managing Stress for Work &amp\; LifeThe pressure of balancing life and work can sometimes lead to stress, and the stress can lead to a decrease of production, as well as be harmful to your health.&nbsp\; In this workshop we will examine two topics that can help us deal with the demands of work and life: relaxation techniques for mind/body wellness and managing stress in the workplace.&nbsp\; Relaxation exercises for mind/body wellness and stress management techniques will be demonstrated and practiced throughout the workshop.&nbsp\; This workshop also looks at stressful situations differently and focuses on what you can control about them.&nbsp\; Practical techniques are provided to help you manage your stress in the workplace.Using Social Media ToolsThis workshop will look at various social media tools including Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, and discuss best practices to help you create a social media presence that is dynamic, effective, and engages your individual community.

\nThis workshop will be held in two parts: One full day on April 17th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and one half day on April 18th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
\n&nbsp\;
\nTo preserve digital content for the long term requires the preserving institution to know key pieces of technical and structural information about the data.&nbsp\; Preservation metadata is the information you need to know to manage, use, and understand your valuable digital assets into the future. This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, the key standard in this area, and how it is being implemented world-wide.&nbsp\; Topics will include an introduction to the PREMIS data model, an examination of the Data Dictionary, and its implementation in XML and METS within the context of&nbsp\; larger digital library issues. Current trends in PREMIS implementations will be covered, including its use as Linked Data in the Semantic Web. A review of selected implementations will highlight use cases and issues for preservation planners to consider. There will be ample time for open discussion of implementation issues. Participants already using PREMIS are encouraged to contribute by presenting information about their own implementations and issues encountered.
\n
\n&nbsp\;
\nWho should attend:
\nLibrarians, archivists and others interested in implementing metadata for the long-term management and preservation of their digital information, or those already involved in planning an implementation.

As a result, libraries are increasingly using technology, self-service models and other trends to make services and processes more efficient. What tends to be overlooked is how these implementations affect the overall library experience for patrons and staff. Is it really more efficient and efficiency at what cost? Whether your library is looking to renovate, relocate, rebrand, or introduce a new service/program, people-centered design is crucial to the process.
\n&nbsp\;
\nIn this DIY-style workshop, you will learn to how use people-centered design methods at your library to help you plan, coordinate, assess and evaluate your services and processes to ensure that they are cost- and time-efficient. While you may not have the staff, time, or funding to do a full-fledged library usability and user experience study\; together, participants will experience how to use these methods to make small changes for a big impact. Filled with examples, case studies, and activities, participants will leave this workshop with the framework and tools for completing their own DIY usability study.
\n&nbsp\;
\nWho should attend: Librarians and library staff who are seeking to make improvements and changes to their library on a small budget.
\n By the end of this program, participants will:
\n- Get an overview of people-centered design, usability and user experience - Learn about methods and tools to conduct their own usability and user experience library study - Receive a DIY library usability study toolkit consisting of templates, resources and tools--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\n\n--- Tendenci(tm) Software by Schipul.com - The Web Marketing Company ---\n

\nMany institutions now have blogs to promote their programming, talk about their collections, and generally engage their public.  Some librarians and archivists have gone a step beyond the basic blog, and have leveraged the structure inherent in blogging Content Management Systems (CMS) to create searchable, browseable online presentations of their collections, dubbed "catablogs."  In this class, we will use Emma, the catablog of archives and special collections at the Brooklyn Historical Society, as a case study to illustrate how an institution used the WordPress blogging CMS to create a simple and low-cost way to present their collections online.  The workshop will cover basic tools such as themes and plug-ins, and the large body of knowledge shared by the WordPress community, that can be helpful in creating your own implementation.  It will aslo discuss how WordPress can deal with both structured and unstructured data, making it a useful tool for a variety of organizations with a range of collections information.Who should attend:  Librarians, archviists, curators, and anyone looking for options to make their collections more visible and accessible online.By the end of this program, participants will: - Have an understanding of the key functionality of the WordPress content management systems, and how it can be used to present collections online beyond basic blogging  - Have an introduction to WordPress plug-ins built specifically for the library and archives community  - Have an introduction to other WordPress tools and plug-ins they may wish to leverage in their own WordPress implementation--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\n\n--- Tendenci(tm) Software by Schipul.com - The Web Marketing Company ---\n
