<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left">The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group invites you to join us for the ALCTS ALA Annual Virtual Preconference “Planning for the Evolving Role of Metadata Services.” The preconference will feature three days of exploring the expansion of metadata services, including:<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left"><strong>Session 1: Metadata Services for Research Data Management (June 2)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left">
Librarians continue to engage in active partnerships with researchers who seek assistance in describing and organizing their data to meet federal mandates and to promote the discoverability and preservation of their work. This session will examine different ways that librarians collaborate with researchers to manage metadata workflows for research data.

<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left"><strong>Session 2: Assessing Metadata Staffing and Workflows (June 3)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left"> Many metadata programs have moved beyond the beginning stages of developing workflows for digital library content. Planning for future development requires analyzing current costs and workflows. This program will discuss ways in which metadata creators and coordinators gather, assess, and report metrics in order to evaluate staffing and workflows.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color:#000; text-align:left"> Best practices for managing local controlled vocabularies have grown rapidly in recent years with the development of standards such as the Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Person and Families (EAC-CPF). These guidelines have influenced not only the development of special collections practices, but also metadata standards for localized controlled vocabularies. How should institutions handle these changes to stay up to date with new and emerging standards? This program will look at two cases studies from the University of Miami Libraries and the George Washington University Libraries that demonstrate technology and techniques for managing local controlled vocabularies and implementing EAC-CPF.</span></p>
