I'm so glad you're interested, Gemma! Yes, there will be a recording of the session. I'll post another message to the listserv with the link when we have the recording, probably in mid-March.

Best,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,

Just wondering if this will be recorded? I've registered, but it's on at 4am my time so hoping there will be a recording.

Cheers,
Gemma

Title: Why Would I Use OpenRefine?

Have you heard colleagues talk about "cleaning data" with OpenRefine, but were shy about asking how it's done? Do you work with large datasets or metadata in spreadsheets like Excel or Google Sheets? OpenRefine is a free, user-friendly tool designed to streamline data cleanup and transformation. In this session, you'll learn how OpenRefine can help you efficiently resolve inconsistencies in data, reconcile access points with external vocabularies like LCSH, VIAF, and AAT, and enhance your MARC records with URIs. Join us to learn how OpenRefine can simplify your work and improve data quality.

Presenter: Elissah Becknell, Cataloging & Metadata Education Librarian at Minitex.

On behalf of the Metadata Interest Group,
